Kevfish, I have a Lund Pro-V with the locking latch pedestal seats and yes, they are tough to dislodge. Try holding the lock in and "bat" the seat around a bit. The more often you do it, the easier it seems to become. (Or, You just get better at it.) On mine, Now it only takes 2 swats and the bugger is loose. Even after there has been 230 Lbs POUNDING one of them down all day. They do state in the owners manual NOT to lubricate the bases. And WD-40 IS BAD medicine around some plastics. Another possibility would be to get more seats so you don't need to move them around. LOL. Hey, Good Luck! And on the boat "Keep the shiny side DOWN!!!"

I used tephlon (sp) spray and it helped a bit on a Tyee. I don't think that it is too bad on plastic either.

I hold the tab with one hand and gently pry the taper base out with a flat screwdriver, seems to work fairly easy.

Maybe silicone spray would work. You can pick it up at almost any auto parts store. Try spraying some on another piece of plastic that doesn't matter and see if it has any adverse effect on it before trying it on your seat. Silicone spray is handy stuff. I spray it on drawers that stick, wood,plastic,or metal. You can get nice, long, smooth casts by spraying some on the insides of your rod guides. Spray some on the edges of doors that want to stick or bind.

I am going to try it again today- part of the problem is that the seat has not been out for a couple of years now- will try prying with a screw driver- Thanks would taking the base out of the floor accomplish anything?

I had the same problems with my Lund seats. I ended up unscrewing the whole thing, base and all, from the floor, taking it into the garage and pounding it out with a hammer. The nice part about doing it that way was I could putz with it in the garage and make sure that it was going to come out easily before I put it back in the boat.

I have the same problem with my Angler. I need to have two guys pry up just to get it out, but only one of my four seats do it. If somebody finds a good solution let me know. Has any talk to lund about this.

I do the same thing that Phred52 does and that has worked best for me. Usually I just hit the post a couple of times with my hands or feet but a few times I've had to tap it with a wooden mallet.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯

      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
