Congradulations Sliver those little ones are a lot of fun.

Hopefully in a couple weeks I will be able to hit the ice with my little guy. Just need plenty of ice to ease moms nerves.

Like many of you, I've finally iced my first fish of the season. The bite's been pretty good, for crappies and sunnies, anyway.

Hit a few spots on the river with decent luck. Two local lakes provided lots of action but not much in the way of size. I still haven't made it out to the Chain, though....How's the ice out there? Anyone walked out from the winter access?

Posted

Was out in front of the cabin again tonight. Dropped the camera for entertainment. The fish were not moving. Saw only 2 eyes, 1 ten pound northern or so, and only one cat. After dark I did ice one 15 inch eye.

Waiting for just a little more ice to go to my secret spot.

Slow night.

It's been mostly perchy results for me on the ice in Avon area with a few crappies .I'm hopeful that these lakes won't be as crowded during the week .Been marking fish mostly in the upper 20's depths.Seems like when I want to go deeper there are around four groups of ppl stationed where I want to fish.lol.Temperature has been real good where I can hole hop with out useing the pop-up much.I will be trying the Briggs chain and more Avon area this week.

Was in front of the Cabin again this morning. Caught 4 crappies(up to 12") 3 Wallys but only one keeper.

Have not ventured out to my secrets spots cause I blew the engine on my little wheeler, but I bout a new old little wheeler so now I can venture out.

Nice job, Jeremy! We are going to have to team up on the Briggs chain soon. There are some dandy fish in there if you can find them.

I'll join you next week if ya want some company. smile

Posted

Sounds like a blast Jeremy, nights like that are why I fish

Posted

Nice job, Its refreshing to see someone that cares about the fishery and puts some back. About how much ice? Any wheeler traffic yet? Thanks again for being selective, I love the Briggs chain and worry about how hard it gets pressured in the winter

Posted

I think around six inches.I seen someone parked with a wheeler on there trailer but didn't look like it made it to the ice.

Posted

Briggs had wheelers parked just off shore on Sunday. I don't think anyone was brave enough quiet yet.

Posted

I decided to go back to the Briggs Chain and ran in to Tom S. We teamed up and spread apart to find the fish.Fishing wasn't as good as yesterday but did get some.There were a lot of them on the sceen and tried everything to hook in to them.Slush was a couple inches thick with a misty rain.I'm going to go back around Avon area and see what's up,maybe in the midst of the weather coming in.I've had good luck in the past in blizzards

Posted

I was out on Briggs today and found something I'd be glad to return if you can tell me what it is. You could send me a pm. No fish today, and not much going on with others I talked to.

      All of those Polaris sleds from that era were notorious for flooding and leaking. I've still got a 2003 XCSP 600 Edge that my daughter rides. As you noted, you need to shut off the fuel in those situations.
    • SkunkedAgain
      Yes, but it could make for an amazing walleye opener.

      How old is your belt?   My old Polaris 4 wheeler with belt drive was bogging at mid range to top end last year.  Changed the belt and that problem went away.
    • JerkinLips
      Previous owner (22 years and 5,000 miles ago) said it was prone to flooding when sitting for a long time or trailering, so I shut the fuel off in both cases.   Primary is significantly worn.  I replaced several rollers and pins which helped.  I have two used clutches in much better condition that I could (and should) install.   It seems more like when I hit the throttle, but the bog could be from poor clutch shifting.  Will have to pay attention next time and inspect the clutches.  Thanks for the ideas.
    • jparrucci
      Nope, he beat me fair and square, all his.  This weather had been depressing. As it sits now we are looking at a later than normal ice out. I hate scrabbling with docks, lifts, boats right before opener. Also limits some pre opener crappie chances.

      👍 when/if i get drawn.....which i should know about june 1 we'll get in touch........both my kid and myself should get drawn.   and thanks.........with 6 preference points............i think are odds are pretty good.............there giving out 375 permits......and since we had yogi and booboo destroy my birdfeeders last spring......🙄

      In those years Polaris was known to put buna tipped needles in there sleds. They get a ring around the seat and don't seal shut. But if that would be the case your problem would be with the motor shut off and filling the crankcase with gas. If your plugs are brown that is were they should be. I wouldn't drop that needle down to the last grove. I would replace them before I did that. I have never had a carb with that setting. Have you looked at your clutches? They could be dirty or have a bad roller.  Does it bog as it's accelerating or when you hit the throttle?     
    • Mike89
      but if he really wants I can change the date..  
    • Wanderer
      As soon as I started reading mind went to needles and seats.  You might want to try just replacing those first?  I’ve only done that once before in my life but it made the difference.  A carb refresh in 8,000 miles seems reasonable.
    • Wanderer
      Good luck smurfy!  On getting drawn, I mean!   If it comes down to it, I know a guy that might be interested in a nice hide.
