Tom you must have been very proud of your Grandson ... it's great to know that the youth of our day and age are still being exposed to hunting and fishing instead of just rotting away in front of a television screen. How wonderful of you to take him out with you!

It's not the biggest, but my 11 year old Grandson Noah, got his 1st.

In my excitement of posting the pic, I forgot that he also did a great job of cleaning up the mess that was left behind by the previous visitors to the spot. Grandpa started picking up some of the blue worm containers, and he got all the beverage containers and the fish line. I was really proud of him for doing that! smile

Great work on both accounts; catching the flattie and teaching him good stewardship of the waterway.

I was down by river today and there a [PoorWordUsage] grill gettn lappped by the river on a shoal. frown. Late last fall Henderson access I ran into one of Hotpockets buds(Grant?) I think fishing along shore and we both were quite impressed with the computer monitor that was left at waters edge on access by some tool. Took it home and recycled it. Teach them young....good work Tom.

One of the worst 'finds' I found shore fishing was when I was pushing a stick in to hold my rod. There sticking needle side up was a lovely syringe. You think we didn't keep eyes in the back of our head that night?

I know it sounds weird, but did you look to see if the liquid was clear, It very well could have been a diabetic that misplaced it while putting it in his bag. Or you may very well have had a wild junky on the lose.

Nothing was in the needle and it did not look like a worm blower. It was definitely a hypodermic needle. It was a shore spot in the cities, so I have a hard time believing it was an innocent needle.

If you happen to find my "rope" there would be a reward for it! I may sneak out Thursday as well.

no reward needed Scott just happy to help out. maybe we'll see you out there I think I got Nick talked into going. we''ll see if the whip gets cracked. and if hes not going I'll probally have his boat unless I drag mine down.

well i seen ec30 06 and dachise on the river hope they had better luck than we did I brought my nephew out on his first flat fishing trip and he had one run but the fish dropped it. Ialso had one run and no go. but he had a great time and he cant wait to hit the riv when the flatties really turn on.

No luck with the rope either Scott will try again when I'm back that way. also I talked to Virgil on the phone and he said he just got out of the Hospital and is going to take it easy for a while he had fluid on the lungs. so our thoughts and prayers go otu to you Virgil. GET WELL SOON cause you need to be fishing.

    • 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.
