You're close. All I've ever found in them are kokanee salmon, even though the lake is full of perch.

Nice pictures and fish 9tine thanks for sharing.

I have speared a few pike with trout in their bellys and those fish are typically fattys.

In Montana it's as long as you're brave (or stupid) enough to go out on the ice. I grew up in northern Michigan, and it used to always irritate me when pike season closed at the end of Feb.

went out to test my new spear for 1 1/2 hours, the welds were still warm and weren't even cleaned up, but I love this spear. full-40781-30828-p2270004.jpg

Nice mount!! I just had a visit from my brother who brought my pike from last year to me. It was his first solo mount and only the third he has done. He was kinda hard on himself about a few mistakes, but I think its awesome.

Well, it starts again... I didn't even get a break between deer season and fishing this year!! Not that I can complain too much:) I got out for a couple hours last night and didn't see a fish. The lake looks really cloudy, but I'll be back out there after I get some biscuits and gravy in my belly. Four clear inches on the lake I sit. Hopefully I'll have a better pic than this one to post later! full-39199-39455-cam00104.jpg

Nice! I usually transition from deer hunting to a week of rabbit hunting, then hit the spear shack, but with a later deer opener pushing into the end of November, I have the ice itch and the lakes here are ready. Your photo did NOT help scratch that itch smile

Good eats there Gordie! Its been really slow in the spot I had my house last year... Only seen two small pike. Water clarity is horrible from all the wind before freeze up, I wonder if thats whats keeping my pike from coming in there. If I don't have any action today, I will be taking action.

I went to a different lake because the lake I'm on is dirty too, but I know of a couple guys that are spearing it,they do very well but, I did try for a day but, I don't care to strain my tried old eyes that hard wink. I also feel that the pike are less spooked when the water is a bit dirty too.

Still slow in my spot, I'm gonna have to get out with the portable and try a new spot/lake. My buddy did spear his first yesterday, the only one we saw. A 33", kinda skinny but the pic makes it look even skinnier. full-39199-40411-cam00119.jpg

      And eat!  Turkey, noodle, wild rice!   Darn good for first run ever! 😋

      I have not eaten one, they are protected generally here in the states and Canada although there have been special seasons for population control but I don't think it was harvested for meat. I've hunted in countries where they are not protected and was with someone who shot one, I didn't eat it but it just stunk after I picked it up.

      Do you guys eat cormorant?  Even Indians call them fisheaters, and they don't eat fisheaters! 🤮

      Happy Thanksgiving to you all as well. We had ours yesterday because our RN daughter in law had to work today.  So I'm trying my hand first time ever at turkey stock for soup later! 😋
    • Wanderer
      Yes! Enjoy your turkey day everyone!

      Happy Thanksgiving everyone.   The ice is coming.  Eager to get out. Dug out my old strikemaster Thursday and got it ready. Smokes like  a chimney at times, but can't justify buying a new one when the old still works good.

      They definitely are stinky birds, the cormorant that is. The Sandhills don't really smell. When you clean them it smells more like venison than waterfowl. We figured he wouldn't pick it up since they must smell similar to chickens and my buddy has trained the Chesapeake to not go after their chickens at home

      Many years ago it was legal to shoot cormorants.  My Grandfather at the time also had a chesapeake bay retriever and he said that dog would retrieve anything in the worst conditions.   One time he told me he shot a cormorant.  The dog swam out out there and refused to pick it up.  Apparently because they are so nasty, stinky, and greasy.   He said its the only bird that dog would not retrieve in 11 years.
