Is it worth going up North and fishing the border? Mostly up by Garden and Bridges islands?

I've never made the trip up, but think it would be fun as a day trip from the wheelhouse.

Posted

I talked to a group of guys that went up by Knight on Friday and they caught a few keeper saugers.

I'd like to try that as well, is there a road going there or is it all ATV or snowmobile travel? I plan on heading up there this weekend with the wheelhouse and sled.

Skhots, did you try out the island scene?

Posted

The resorts are now up on the reefs around knight and bridges. There's not a lot of room now for other houses. We just got a bunch of snow so atv and truck travel will be difficult off the plowed road system. Good luck out there stay safe.

Just got back from there. 37feet 1st day 25 keepers threw back 20. caught a 24,22 in eye. That was 1/1. Next day caught 19 keepers. threw back 20. 6 of us fishing. Still had lots of fun. White out on Saturday coming off. Thanks Bill.

Grasshopper,

Sounds like a good trip.

What was the number of walleyes compared to the number of saugers you ended up going home with?

Posted

Is there a plowed road all the way up to Knight? How much snow is up there?

Posted

Lot more saugers than eyes. Smallest keeper was 11 inches. than we got selective. lots of 13,14,15 incher. maybe 20 eyes total.

They were working on it. Wind was blowing pretty good. Snow was pretty soft Saturday. Might be different today.

      Those flooding problems are a sign of your needle and seat are leaking.  If the needle has a ring around the tip you can clean it if it's brass. If it has a black rubber tip then it needs to be replaced. You can clean the needle and seat with things like rubbing compound or even toothpaste I use a product called Semi chrome. It for polishing die pins. Just clean them up after polishing.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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?
