Wow what a fatty!!! Wish I could be spearing! dam seasons... What was in it's belly? almost looks like they have trout to eat they are so fat..

Posted

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

Posted

Well I'm jealous... How long does your season go over there? Looks like MI is still open too, what is your close date?

Posted

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.

Posted

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.

Posted

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

      Some smaller lakes around Rapids are opening up. Few should be completely free by next week. Last weekend some of the bigger lakes still had 2 ft of ice. Supposed to get warmer this weekend but Monday the high is 40 and lows below freezing. I'm going stir crazy myself

      Good Morning:   Trying to help a friend out as I mentioned to him the expertise on this site.   He bought a Garmin Echo Map last year for his 1800 Fisherman on Pokegama Lake. He claims he has power all the way up to the cradle, but when on the cradle, the system turns off. He's planning on driving the boat down to the cities from Pokegama for service on the Garmin, but thought I would ask some of you experts if there is anything he should try before doing so.    Again, I am sure it's a long shot, but anyone experience anything similar?

      Glad you’re getting results!   I’d throw a new set of sparks in there for next season too.  Weak sparks have given people plenty of headaches.   I just had a deal where a friends wheeler just died while he was loading it on a trailer.  Wouldn’t restart for anything.  He and I did a lot of checks and trials to get it running but couldn’t.  I finally took it to my local small engine guy.  He repeated all the diagnostics we did, plus some, and couldn’t get it started.   Based on his experience, he decided to try a new set (mind you they did have spark outside the cylinder).  It fired right up.  Pretty rare for BOTH of them to go bad but it’s been running great ever since.

      If you have a Mity-vac, make sure to pressure test the needle and seat before putting the carb back together. That will often solve leak/flooding issues (but I don't think that's your issue). It's a different type of fuel leak.

      I moved the clips on the jet needles up to the top groove to lean it out.  This eliminated the mid-range bog and the sled accelerates well even when warm.  The plugs are not quite dark now, but look good.  I'll have to rebuild the Mikuni carbs this summer for the permanent solution.  I'll also repair or replace the primary clutch to eliminate that issue.  Thanks for all of the suggestions.
