Does anybody know who had a road out to the islands? I called adrians but there road doesn't go out that far

Posted

As of Monday, Cyrus did not have a road out there either. But they said a lot of people were asking for a road there, so it might happen soon.

a plowed road out to Knight and Bridges would in my opinion be a bad idea. Years ago you could go up there for isolation and very little traffic. Increasing that pressure would be detremental. 2c

I agree with bturck, but with the slow bite the last couple years on the south shore and people asking for a road, I think if the snow stays away some resort will do it. It's all about $ and with a road and some rentals up there there will be more $ for that outfitter

Detrimental to the resorts or the fish? I'm guessing a lot less people would book fish houses later in the season if they can drive pickups to the reefs.

Well, the road is already there. The question is who's is it? If I had time I would take the sled out there and back track to see which resort it comes from. But of course time is not on my side right now.

its Borderview lodges, they are out 25 miles

Posted

So where do you access this road to the north?

Posted

With all the modern machinery now gone are the days of out working the next guy to get on a better bite or shooting more birds.

True welcome to the future. However that is only half the battle the other half is getting out there.

Posted

So where do you access this road to the north?

I do believe they come off of Adrian's road.

Posted

I was there last weekend through Ballards. They were running the bombers up to there. 1-1.5 hours in the bomber one way.

probably worth the trip to do the 1.5 hours.

Posted

Do we know if this is open to all for a fee or just for their guests/houses?

Posted

I believe the sign at the access says for Borderview customers only but I might be wrong.

Posted

Well, unless the sign is on shore on their land it is open to anyone who gets a road pass from Adrian's.

Posted

jerkbait - can you pm me if you know what color stakes borderview is using or where the trail that connects the two roads is?

I have a suburban with tracks but would easily choose driving my truck over that if possible. Thinking I may even bring my wheel house up there laugh

Posted

I don't personally know. I can just see out my living room window with binocs the vehicles and houses driving north. I just fish out front so I don't actually know where the road contacts. Sorry.

Posted

I believe Borderview's road goes out on their private land just to the west of the bed and breakfast across from Border Bait.

      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.
    • 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.

      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?
