Didn't think you could spear forest??

You are correct sir No spearing on Forest lake in Hennipen Co.

1) No spear in the photo - Prove he was spearing!

2) Is there a law against having a decoy in the water without a spear in the house? - Prove he was spearing.

3) There's more than one Forest Lake in MN - Prove he was spearing

4) Prove the lake is in MN

A lot of assumptions can be waged based on a photograph.

I totally agree Lep nothing wrong with that photo and I just stated that its illegal to spear on Forest lake in Hennipen County is all.

Matter of fact I cut a spear hole size hole on MilleLacs to site fish at times and have even jigged a few decoys nothing wrong with that.

Just to reinforce what has already been said: We cannot spear Forest Lake in Hennepin County. It is a small "lake" that is really not much more than a bay of Lake Minnetonka. Forest Lake in Washington County is open to spearing.

Boy that must've been some slippery walking! Bet the water clarity was just about like it is all summer, with no ice! laugh

That first pic is probably one of the coolest ice-fishing pictures I've EVER seen! And the pic of your little boy holding that fat pike is nice as well. smile

Well I have been spearing since the 29th of November (only 3 times) without seeing a fish. I mainly blame marginal ice since I couldn't get out to where I wanted to go, but today I got lucky. This is the first and only fish I've seen. It came in on a Dewey's Golden Shiner nice and slow and even stopped for me! Same exact length as my big one last year, 41.5 with a 18" girth. I don't have a scale to weigh it but I figure around 16lbs. full-39199-27485-20121210_122657.jpg

FINALLY able to post a picture of my brand new spear shanty with a successful morning. Lost track but saw more then 12 pike and had a double pike action while on the phone doing a job interview, talk about multitasking...ha. Anyways enjoy the picture and hope to contribute more soon.

Spearhead you're maxed out on PM's. The lake is within Cass/Crow County area, fear of to much pressure and attention I prefer to keep it on the down-low, or PM me and let me know where you live and see if it's worth your drive.... wink

Thx,

MR

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      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. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      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
