Congrats to Joe!

Nice job Joe

He must have actually thrown the spear, his arm doesn't look nearly as wet as mine when i got my first one! (letting go of the spear helps, so I've learned...)

Pike came in and took off with the sucker. I grabbed the line to bring it back and it spit it out. I pulled it back in the hole about a foot from the bottom of the ice and the pike grabbed the sucker again. Joe stuck it and never let go of the spear.

He was super excited!

So does the crappie count against your own limit of crappies? grin

Nice pike 9 tine

That Montana pike is really a solid looking fish! The spear looks quite capable too. If that is your start I can't wait to see the finish!

first post here been doing a lot of back reading on you guys that have been doing this for awhile. this is my second year doing it I don't have my own gear yet because im not sure what spear I want. seen some really nice ones from a couple of you guys. my first fish first toss was a 34" 9lbs. so far this year got 10 under my belt and have startd to be more selective on my fish to were I actually was able to play with them. one day we had up to 3 fish in the hole at one time and seen over 20 fish in the day.

Welcome Hillbilly great photo's!

First off Welcome to the HSO Family Hillbilly,

Glad you shared your experiences with us and I know the feeling when you have three in the hole at the same time.. its a rush and a feeling like no other I have ever encountered.

Great pictures and [lease keep sharing your experiences.

Posted

Great stuff Hillbilly.

Let us know what you choose for a spear.

I just got a Dillo by Moening for my spearing buddies. I hope they get a chance to get it wet tomorrow.

Posted

thanks guys. I was planning on getting the my 8 year old out for his first time but mother nature said other wise with the 20mph winds and rain this morning.

and one spear that I didn't see any one have or mention was double dimoand.

I don't know anyone that has one either. I know someone that has one of his saws.

Usually the guy from Double diamond is on the ice At Spear Fest. He makes a nice spear, but personally its not what I care for. I prefer the weight forward type and I have made a few of that type also.

      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.
