Alan, We might have to switch gears here. I think they figured us out. Maybe guilie suits are in order... lol

The wife had a bruiser on possibly the biggest of the year it kept peeling line and eventually ran to a downed tree and SNAP.

In which pool, North or South? Should have jumped in after it, instead of watching her fight it then snap! LOL wink

I need help. The lake I am fishing has a big shallow mud flat, lined with cattails, depths between 1-6 feet, some spots are muddy and some are sandy. There is a small creek that has a mud bottom also, where crappies spawn. I found out about this spot from an old-timer who has since pasted, he said they would catch monster carp there, and they would be crusing around on cloudy days.

I have been there 3 times this week (including this AM) and I haven't seen any so far or had any bites. Is it to early yet? Ice out was last week. I crused with my bow mount, just looking for fish, and didn't see any. Do carp favor sunny or cloudy...windy or calm? I', going to keep trying, just looking for some pointers. Thanks!

Sunny calm days are the best time for sight fishing them. That doesn't mean don't fish in cloudy conditions just makes sight fishin more diificult. Check the warmest water shallows and bays for active fish. My guess would be muck bottom over a sand bottom.

The fish most likely to bite will be the ones that are tail up "feeders" Fish seen cruising seem to be doing just that "cruisers". Look for the feeders throw beyond so you don't spook and retreive your offering until your in their feeding zone watch for line movement not necassarily a tug. Set the hook and become addicted like so many of us. Other tip offs on their location would be muddy clouds, steady streams of bubbles and obviously fins or tails.

One more thing keep you rig light meaning only use weight thats needed don't over do it. I go with out sinkers if their in casting distance to do so.

Good Luck

    • 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.
