Thanks fellas.. Its been another phenomenal year here for fishing.. Especially for the bass.. 30 to 50 fish days are doable this time of year, and with an average size of 17 to 18 inches, you cant beat it.. Things will keep rocking good for another few weeks.. One of the problems for me.. Too many species.. Not enough time. smile

Here are a couple good pre-spawners..

Here are some pictures from the National Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship that was held last week down in Texas. Not the biggest fish, but it was fun to finally be able to compete with those southern schools for once after struggling the past two years...

went out fishing on a local lake, it wasnt long before i spotted a BIG bass, patrolling the shallows. i threw everything i had at her. but i could not entice a bite. i had only one thing left to use... my fly rod. i tied on my hand tied, gold tinsel minner. i cast out to her, and almost immediatly WAM! hooked up! but a few seconds later she threw it. i cast back out again, and immediatly WAM! hookeed up! after a nice long battle, i pulled in my biggest bass of the year so far, on the fly to boot!

23" long, 5lb 7oz!

i kept stalking the shoreline, and eventually i spooked a nice bass from right next to shore, so i walked out on a tree and waited.. and waited, eventually she came back, and i threw out the fly. WAM!

3lb even

i hit the end of the flat, so i doubled back. i noticed the 5lber patrolling the same area i got her from. but i kept going eventually, i found another beauty! she was sitting in about a foot of water. i cast out, and right when my fly hit the water, SPLOOSH! fish on!

21.5" and 4lb 9oz

Wow, those are some real hawgs, and a few absolute monsters, they are built like California bass! I only know of one lake that grows them like that, and if its the one I've been thinking about trying it, I need to get out there soon! Here are a few large specimens.

First MN bass of the season, 21"

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
