Why did they take off a picture that shows a fish and spear, but the fish is not on a spear?

I love to see a site where there are actually spear fishermen on it. I would send some picks but they all dont qualify for the site. Spear still in em. I've been spearing near DL, ND and doing well. quite a few fish 30"to37" limit 5 and the game and fish dept. wants us to take as many pike out of the fishery as we legally can. You guys ever spear ND?

I would love to make the trip to Nodak spearing but the duck hunting trips out there seem to have an effect on my trips to spear out that way Oh well maybe some day smile

Pictures of fish need to be in a natural setting like on the lake in front of your spear shack

NDPikePoker. I was wondering about the water clarity on Devils. Last year we made a trip out for tip-up fishing and did pretty well, but the water clarity was really milky. Strange colored water.

There are tons of big pike in there. I bet spearing would be awesome!

I usually do spear DL but it is murky bad this year. but stump is really good in the spot i'm at. In years past I've been able to see 20' on DL where now you cant see 2' Last year was the same

it was in the negatives when we were their so whats chilly to you? smile ice blocks we pulled out were 14" solid clear ice then around 4" of crapola. Trucks were out and the ice never even made a sound... snow wasnt to bad depended on where you were drifting was around but for the most part it was good.

      Yeah was just being a smartAzz about cranes being the only "waterfowl" you eat with salt and pepper.  😏
    • Kettle
      We feild hunt for them, lot of time it's figuring out their route from water to feilds and pass shooting as they don't fly high off the ground. No turkey where we go. Do normally see a moose or two. Have had coyotes come in and try and steal decoys tho

      Actually, I think that I know what you are talking about. There is a large tree in there. After visiting with the neighbors a few years ago, I headed back in my boat. The boat actually rode up on top of the tree and got stuck. It was 11pm and late fall. I tried rocking the boat, shifting between forward and reverse, but couldn't get it off. After about 10 minutes I decide to swim to shore with a rope, tug it off of the tree, and then go warm up. As I went to the back of the boat again, but this time to strip down for the swim, the boat just slid off of the tree and back into the water.

      When you set up your deks for crane in the pond, do you ever get Turkeys landing in the set?

      I'd take a beef ribeye or beef tenderloin over crane any day. It's similar to venison and the only waterfowl i eat with just salt and pepper. When cleaning them it smells more like a pheasant than a duck or goose, not nearly as pungent. Just so fun to watch em fly, they are prehistoric looking. Fished tonight with a retired buddy and sent him home with 6, water Temps around 67 degrees. Jig and minnow. Hard to leave to go waterfowl hunting with the walleye biting

      Fished Osakis early yesterday morning.  Temps were 67-68. Found walleye in 12-21 ft along with small perch. Kept a 16 and 18 for supper. Almost too warm to fish. What a crazy September. I was using nightcrawlers with a spinner rig. Got the 18 on a 2 inch crawler after perch bit it off twice and I was too stubborn to replace it.

      Has been a warm, but fun start to the 24 waterfowl season. Got out for the first two days of the early teal and early goose season. Got my son out both days of the Youth Hunt, and got out both days of opening weekend. Mostly singles and doubles coming in so far, so my son Parker has harvested most of our birds. Not great numbers, but good variety for a very warm September in central MN. We have harvested bluewing teal, greenwing teal, shovelers, mallards, wigeon, pintails, a nice drake ruddy duck, and geese. Water levels are much higher than last year, with one of the lakes we hunt being about two feet deeper than last season. Hopefully some cooler, more seasonable temps will settle in and start bringing the calendar migrators through the state. Good luck, and I will see you out there somewhere.

      Yea iffin Kettle says that's what it's like I'd tend to believe him, he has harvested a few 👍   Besides everyone knows  guys that hunt and fish never fib 🤗😉
