Lake Poinsett Fishing Reports

Has anyone been by Poinsett Lately? I am curious if the heavy rains have helped the water levels at all. I drove by two weeks ago and water was coming in from dry, but very little coming in from Albert.

I'd like to see this lake back to normal some day!

Father-in-law was by poinsett today. Water is still coming in from both places. He said the outlet from Albert is running pretty slow yet because of all the weeds in the outlet.

The water is up some he said. He said all the lakes(albert, Mary, John)around Pionsett are full, so it should keep running into Pionsett for awhile yet.

I would like to see it full again myself. Makes launching the boat alot easier.

Been there the past two weekends and I would say water levels are pretty normal. Easy to launch a boat at prestrudes it's certainly not full like 97 or 01 but good water levels. It's gotta be up 18-24+ inches from last year. You can float over the rocks by prestrudes point close to shore. Last year some of those were out of the water. The water level is probably similar to 2002-2003 from what I remember in my brookings days.

I was out on Poinsett Sunday and I saw a flash of 16ft on the graph for the first time in years! It was great to see.

Evidently, the lake still has a solid white bass population.

Man i wish i could see that lake again. My grandparents had a cabin on the south side of the lake, and i spend most of my childhood fishing. I think if memory serves me they were east of mudsons resort like 3 cabins or so. You all are bringing back some of the best times of my life. I remember when crappie fishing was as easy as just sitting there watching them jump out of the water. Oh well good luck someday i will get up there to see it all again.

Kind regards,

Jeff

      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.
