Hi Guys!

I see you've been posting about Yellow. I went there with my ten year old on last Friday, the 22nd. We fished in a light rain for about 4 hours from 11-3pm. We caught about 8 walleyes, most between 14 and 14 3/4 inches, but one keeper at 15. We fished the windblown shore, on the dropoff. The walleyes were where the clouds of baitfish were, 15-22 feet deep.

My 10 year old caught about a 25 lb muskie (released after picture) while we were jigging for walleyes. It took about 20 - 30 minutes to land. I had to land it by hand with no net or anything with that could handle it. A muskie fisherman on the lake took a picture for us. We had no camera with in the rain. He is sending the picture in the mail. Will try to post it when it is received.

Nice Bonus fish and of course his biggest fish to date!

Best luck to all.

Hey mudman and spindry!

We didn't have a sucker out for muskie. He caught it on a walleye jig and minnow with 6lb test. That's why it took so long to get it in. Had to pick it up by hand to get it in the boat. He got lucky, the muskie got hooked by the trailer hook. I think that's how we caught it without the line breaking.

I may go up there again tomorrow for a while. Will report back if I do. If you're out and see a 14' lumicraft with a 15 hp Mariner, say hi!

By the way, it was between 44 and 45 inches and the fattest and thickest muskie I've seen for its length. Looked like some of those pictures from Mille Lac

Hey Mudman and spindry!

We received a copy of that muskie this fall from that fisherman on Yellow Lake. Many thanks to him. Also thanks to Matt Johnson for making this picture possible. Hope the picture comes through otherwise I'll try again. Nathan caught this one in the fall of 2004 (better late than never)!

      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.
