Hello everyone. It seems to have been a long time since most of us have seen/heard from each other. Some of us are no longer with us.    In my eyes it seems that spearfishing unfortunately has

Well everyone needs to start someplace right???

The good news is I am traveling south with fewer decoys than I had when I arrived yesterday. It was a learning experience but I enjoyed it. Got a lot of tips from long time carvers. Traded a few decoys. And had a lot of compliments.

If you've never been to one if these shows you owe it to yourself to attend one. It's unreal the quality of carvers out there. Mass produced store bought decoys will never hold the same appeal again.

And I still have a pile of decoys for the get together.

Wandered out to Green Lake (west of Cambridge) today. A lot of suspended green stuff from surface to bottom. Yuck! Should have taken the "please drive right next to my darkhouse" sign off of the house when I set up. Lots of traffic, only three small pike came in for a look. No wonder there were less spearing shacks there than I remember from the last couple of years.

Most of us couldnt get our houses out of that zoo fast enough.

Did anyone pick up any new fun spearing gear over the summer? 

I added to my tong collection a little and added quite a few spears.

I just got to thinking about it after you asked. No... I don't think I did get anything new or new to me this spring or summer. 

Slacking off I guess.

Same to you MJ. 

 

I'm recovering from my annual thanksgiving torcher episode. Helped my dad with his paper route.  2200 startibune and 1800 pioneer press papers assembled and delivered this morning. 

 

But I've been given the heads up that there is a 9lb prime rib being prepped for dinner later. 

 

Happy thanksgiving everyone.

When I left for work yesterday the lake had white caps on it. When I got back 10hrs later it was locked up. An hour after that the first idiot was broke through the landing. If we get the snow they are predicting for Saturday my guess is there will be sleds in the water this weekend. They do it every year. 

 

Patients people.

Thanks MJ - you too.

 

I finally got a hole cut yesterday.  No luck while exploring a new lake but at least it got the blood flowing again.

 

Plus I got to swim the last two Grumpy Decoys I acquired.  Been anxious to do that for a while.  I liked how they swam.

 

I also got to try The Dream Chair for the first time.  It's pretty darn nice even though it's a little camped for my house with the built floor down (hole in the center of my hub house).

 

Oh, and a new pair of Cabelas Inferno Pac Boots.  Plenty warm but I had an annoying shin rub I have to figure out.

 

Boy, maybe it was more like Christmas yesterday. :)
