I've caught suckers as late as September. I would think that if you can find them, you can catch them.

And sucker is my second favorite cutbait for channel cats, right behind shad. They also work quite well for bowfin, as Jake said.

once they die, freeze them, the work well for opening weekend northerns. float them weightless down current. after ice out pike are out looking for fish that died over the winter for an easy meal

more on my grounds. i was on the sauk river somewhere in tod county. lol. i got a new pb today (my profile pic) and im keeping the spot a secret wink

Jake, I have fished the spot you where at. We have done very well there on Walleyes after a big rain. Try a 3" white twister tail with a black 1/8 oz. jig head in the middle section.

There is also another nice spot at the "park" right out from the tire swing, It drop's off to six feet about two feet from shore and then comes back up to two feet.

Thanks! i was just bottom fishing with a crawler when i saw three little buffalo swim by. i tossed out my worm and to my surprise,he took it. i did bring my flyrod but they didn't pay any attention to my flies. it's kind of funny, that was the smallest buffalo i have ever seen in that river. that same day i was casting towards multiple buff's that were well over 15 pounds, but this little turd is all i have to show frown

Interesting Carpman, Carp on the fly have become one of my favorite pursuits this last summer, but I have never considered doing it at night. It seems I have to get the fly within a foot or two of the front of their face in order to even have a chance since they seem to be sight fishing the fly. Maybe on a well moonlit night, hmmm. What were the conditions you were fishing? I imagine the water temps are pretty high right now which probably doesn't hurt either. I just have a hard time imagining it beacuse right now I often wade in a backwater of the mississippi and sight fish them under a high sun.

Lately I've been getting them to hit on San Juan worms.

(Maybe we could open a new thread instead of in the pics thread)

fly fishing for carp at night is the ultimate challenge to catch carp. you have to be very alert and be watching everything around you. to really up your chances, use large dark flies. if the carp are aggressive, you can go bright. a black wolly bugger wrapped with webby hackle is my go-to fly. what you want to find are backwater areas, with pencil reeds and cattails all over. listen closely for carp feeding it them. cast very close to where you hear them feeding, then fish VERY slow. keep casting until the fish moves on, (or you catch it. )

also, fishing in urban areas is a great idea. you will be suprised how many fish can be attracted to a street light.

      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.
