HSO 4th Annual Spearing Get Together Feb 8th!!! (Final Report)

[merkman]

I will bring an extra house and an extra spear or 2.

As long as you are legal you can use my stuff.

Unless YoPauly speaks for it first.

[mrfish1991]

the only way i fish is legal...and speaking of legal...the GTG is 2 days after my 18th...lol

[bassNspear]

ya, i would get a licence. That way you dont have to worry about anything

[Gordie]

I might bring 2 house again and will have an extra spear also.

its great to see so much intrest in this event hope the weather is intrested in cooperating

[glenn57]

need to practice your smack talkin, got a pro at it in bns.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

I'd love to sit and do some too, I'm cool with watching an expert so others could have a crack in a house of their own. My buddy has a portable, Clam I think, he thinks that it would get dark enough to do it by, but needs a spear, he is looking into things

[mrfish1991]

i would also be content with just sitting and watching...or maybe doing some tipup/rod fishing

[merkman]

Just come out we will hook you up.

I counted my spears last night and I somehow ended up with 4 of them. I really thought I needed the extras before buying the last 2 but now I am not sure. lol

The bottom line is we have enough gear between all of us to make it happen. We can drive out on the lake this time so transporting it all should not be a problem.

I think I am going to get a full spearing package together - House, spear, Fish saw, rattle wheels, and a couple of decoys and throw it on one of those on line auction sites. I might have to pair down just a little bit this year. lol

YOU TALKING TO ME

YOU TALKING TO ME

Bring it!!

[glenn57]

na elwood, you should know from experience the most prolific smacker is the guy that sets this gtg up.

[Gordie]

good one and note well takin

[bassNspear]

should be a great time out here

[samtroy]

Just to let you guys know. I know its a month away but the ice is very uneven now in front of the landing 14" around the point on the SE side about 6"-8". I dont know if it has springs or what but be careful driving out there. I did have a guy drive by me on the SE side tonight and go all the way to a house on the far end of the lake. To say the least i thought he was going down the way it was cracking! I should have a extra house out there also if someone needs it. As for fish its been very slow only seen 1 today in 4 hours and they come up to the decoy and back down just as fast. They are showing no interest in them now hope it picks up by feb.

[bassNspear]

thanks for the report. We do have another month that we have to make more ice, which im sure it will. We can always get the wheelers out and go out that way!

Thanks again for the report!

[GoneFish'n71]

how deep is the snow? any slush?

[bassNspear]

there wasnt any slush yet, but there is some snow on the lake?

Wondering about wheeler?

[GoneFish'n71]

yeah, unknown lakes make me nervous with a 7000lb truck

[bassNspear]

ya i can understand that. Im going to go out there again before the outing, and get everyone a report of how the lake is doing.

[samtroy]

bns where you out there spearing any luck?

[bassNspear]

i have been out there three times this year, seen fish all day long two of the three days. Theres alot of fish! No reason not to see a few in the hrs that we will be out there!

[samtroy]

if you dont mind me ask what end of the lake? I was out there this week after work 4 times from about 12-4 and only seen 2 fish. Im left of the landing off the point.

[GoneFish'n71]

any muskies, I have never speared a lake with muskies and not sure if I could tell the difference

also I was looking at the map on lakefinder. looks like only one public access, then take a left and drive the lenght of the lake to the edge of the weeds?

[samtroy]

I dont think theirs any muskies. Theres weed beds at both end of the lake. And it drops off fast. I have a 4x8 house and the back of the house is in 5' with weeds and my spear holes in 15'. Ive seen a few sunfish and about 10 trout. Just not much for pike.

[bassNspear]

i have had luck on the north end, and also on the south west end.

[bassNspear]

the thing you have to remember about this lake is that the weed lines come out sooooooooo far, and if you want to get out on the weed line, your going to be in 12-15 fow.

[GoneFish'n71]

are the weeds submergerd so you can spear above them, or do they come up to the top?

[bassNspear]

all depends on where you are on the lake. The best is to put a camera down the hole to see what the weeds are doing. I try to get out on the edge, or if the weeds go out to far, then i try to find a pocket so i am not on top of the weeds.

[chuckwagon]

I will put my name in as being there! I got all pumped for the last one you guys had and then had to cancel because of snow plowing. So if the weather cooperates this time i'll be there for sure.

[bassNspear]

great to see you might come. I hope the weather is better this time. Last three have been horrible.

[bassNspear]

Glenn, you planning on coming?

Huey, you better not miss this one or we are going to have to take a vote if your allowed to come to our events anymore. JK BUD
