Hey everybody, Im looking at the thermometer and it is saying 32 degrees!!! And the worst of it all Im sitting here at home instead of ice fishing... Now that is not right.

Honestly it is nice to get away from the -24 degrees and pretty soon get out to do some catch up work at home.

Hopefully everybody enjoys their day... smile

I sure wish that I could have joined you today. I messed up my tractor badly so I had to work on getting that thing apart.

I am planning on fishing next weekend for sure. The daughters boyfriend is planning on going along so there is a good chance that we will be there.

When the time gets closer lets plan on getting together and catch some fish...

Hey PP and you regulars down there, I guess I may need a little help. Fished Emerson this afternoon. Had probably a dozen sunnies come thru at scattered times, I had small gill pils, silver, black, ratfinkies, and a couple of other smaller jigs w/ eurolarva, pink and white both from Shucks. 2 lbs vanish line. Fish would just look, couple little twitches, didn't matter. No biters. What should I do....

Thanks Much for any advise. Sorry I missed the Boji Day, we had family Christmas....

It sounds like you are pretty close. We catch 100% of our fish on plastics it does take a little experimenting with them but it almost always pays off. Its really hard to explain jigging action in print but the less the jig moves the better it usually is. The fish down there get exposed to just about any presentation you can dream up and sometimes little things like knot position and the slightest jigging action can seperate you from everyone else.

I will be out Thursday and Friday and part of Saturday on Spirit for sure. However,this weekend is the wifes big birthday bash in Greenville. I don't think I had better miss that one if I plan on fishing again this year:) My shack will be empty though if you guys want to fish out of it Saturday afternoon or Sunday.

If not you could always join us at the bar for a few beverages

Epkirkman, I sent an email to you with my cell phone number. I am positive that we will be fishing sometime Saturday just not quite sure about the exact time. I have to load out a load of hogs and not sure of what time the truck is coming yet.

Lets keep in touch and see if we can meet up out there. I am looking forward to joining you guys and doing some serious fishing...

Shawn, I will try calling you when I head up that way to see where you are and we can see if we can meet up also...

I sent you my phone number. I am sitting in the ice shack atm. I picked up a couple nice northerns today and have been catching perch one after another. Lots of sorting still but pretty fun.

Give me a shout when you guys head out. You can drive out at Angler's with no problems.

Thanks for the phone call epkirkman!!! I am so looking forward to giving it a shot on Saturday! I will give you a call as soon as we start heading out your way. What color is your shack? Like you said hopefully the cold weather does not shut the fish bite off. We will at least give it a good try. smile

We will see you there on Saturday. smile

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
