Well, Feb. 17th is the dead line for the lottery entry this year. This will be the first year I have not entered in a long time. No boat and no partner. sigh..

Who is planning on going and what kind of predictions do you have?

My dad is dropping the registration off in the morning.

My prediction is we will do as bad as we always have, that is if we get drawn in the lottery. Seams like we've learned something new each year, now we just need to have it all come together with a little luck on our side.

Can't believe this will be my 4th year.

The way I read it is Feb 17th is the first day you can submit an entry:

So pretty much you have to have someone who will walk/drive the entry form down for you on the 17th at 8:00am. If you mail it (posted marked) on the 17th, what would be the chances of getting in the drawing? None grin

Line one from the official PDF rules seem too be worded a little different than the the above that I had found:

Quote:
1. Eligibility: Limited to 150 two-person teams. Must fish from boats. Registration begins on Tuesday, February 17, 2009. Registration forms

may be dropped off at The Chamber or postmarked that day. The top 15 teams from the 2008 tournament are guaranteed a spot if the teams

are identical and the completed registration form is postmarked between February 1 and February 17, 2009. On the day the registrations

exceed 150, those received or postmarked THAT day will be put into a lottery drawing to fill the tournament. The remaining registrations will

be placed on the waiting list.

 Each contestant must sign an entry/release form. Applications must be complete when registering or they will

be rejected. Tournament officials reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone.

Thats the way its always been done. They don't do a first come/mailed first served. You think that would benifit the economy if all the locals got into it. Heck NO! They want the out of towners to rent rooms and spend money, not just locals who can go home at the end of the day.

I'm gonna have to re-read my entry. You have to have it post marked by the deadline. They then have a drawing down the road if I recall correctly. Of course the top fifteen places from the year prior have a guaranteed seat in the tournament.

I'll be sending ours in we missed it by 6 places last year. Then we got the call that we were in and we thought we didn't have a chance in hades. So we made other plans. Lets see if this is the year.

I would love to enroll. I have a partner willing to cough up the $100 and hotel/lodging costs. I also have a boat, but is it worth mailing a $200 check today, if you have less than no chance at getting in?

If you get your letter postmarked today, you have just as good a chance as anyone. Everybody ends up in the lottery drawing.

Maybe this time we can prepare a little bit smile

We plan on going Heck or high water, though I feel confident that we will draw a number under 150 and if we don't I would be willing to bet that with the economy one would have a really good shot getting in..... even if they are the reserve list. You know that some are trying to lock in a spot, knowing that they probably won't be able to make it, but doing it just in case.

So sorry fellas for not getting back in here in a timely mannor...I feel pretty bad, I wish I would have look back right away. There are many of you I would of loved to take up there with me for the great catting adventure!!!!

First off, It was pretty depressing to think after over 10 years of fishing this tournament I was not even going to enter.. sigh.. so I just pouted a few days. Im getting tired of putting a ton of effort and heart into some one elses product and after it is all said and done, I get kicked in the "no-roll sinkers". Now after putting thousands of hours on the water up there and moving south and having to start all over again it is getting pretty tough telling myself it can be done. sigh.. That was a lot of work. LOL..

Maybe I will just have to go up there and fish for fun and visit with all the outstanding competitors that make it back each year.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
