Anyone been out spearing?

[MJ1657]

I'm going out tomorrow. Hope to see a few. I tip up fished yesterday and caught a few nice ones.

[foulpole18]

Nope. Noone has fished or speared in days. Everyone is arguing in the protect larger pike thread. J/K

[Gordie]

ha ha foulpole I did both stuck a so called stunted pike today it was about 22 inches

[merkman]

I am keeping my holes open... that is about it for me.

Finishing up a batch of pickled northern today.

[Gordie]

I'm think I'm going to start a batch on saturday along with fireing up the smoker with some tulies'pike and cats

[merkman]

I coulda got you a bullhead to go with those cats.

Actually I eat farm raised catfish but that is about it.

Unless I am down south... then I catch my dinner.

The tulies you can throw my way... those are awesome smoked.

We used to smoke Mooneyes too when we were growing up catching suckers out of the river... whenever we were lucky enough to catch one that is.

[MJ1657]

I had a 20+ pound carp come through two days last week that would have been nice for someones smoker.

I haven't been out since Saturday and I'm feeling kinda deprived...I'm going trout fishing tomorrow and I'm working this weekend, but hopefully Monday I can get some spearing done before I go to work.

the last time i was out would have been last sunday. Took my buddy who won the ice saw out again and did pretty well. I speared the first (34") and let him sit in the hot seat. He missed his first but then came back and speared his 3. Had 3 northerns smash the decoy a couple times that was fun to watch. Going to try and get out this weekend also.

[Gissert]

I fished last Fri-Tue. I ended up with 2 fish speared, and passed one in the 36-38 inch range. Saw a few more hugging the bottom. Not much interest by the fish, but that should pick up in another 2-3 weeks again.

waterbound no spearing trout

[bassNspear]

i have been unable to get out being i am back at work and trying to get everything up and running. Hopefully will be able to get out after the boat shows!

[waterbound]

Nope, no trout spearing! I did get a 15" rainbow and missed a couple others so it was a fun day.

[MJ1657]

Was out from noon until 5:00. Slow day today, saw 4 northerns total. One was nice sized and the others were really small. Another giant carp came through again just out of range.

you spear carp?

[gardn184]

got out for the first time this year only my second time spearing, took one of my buddys who's never been out before. I stuck the first one, a 26incher, then the second one came in and my buddy threw at it three different times before he gave up and gave me the spear to finish the fish, was another 26incher, can't believe that northern came back three times and never left the hole. I'm absolutely hooked

[Gordie]

was out this morning for a couple hours and didnt see a thing but I'll be back at it again in the morning

[browning_gold]

Slow day today!

[waterbound]

Actually I was on Cenaiko. I think I'm going to set up in the bay right in front of the access the next time I spear it. Hopefully I'll finally see a pike in that lake and worst case I might be able to sight fish the trout (although I've never heard of anybody catching through the ice there).

[bassNspear]

i was unable to get out today becuase of work, but it was a great day to be out there with this weather!

No just describing where it was.

[thedeadsea]

We tip up and jig fished on Saturday. No flags in 4 hours in a lake chocked full of pike. One hit on a bucktail with a sucker minnow. Only 2 lookers on the vex, and they very well could have been another species. I think the slump is here, at least in my area.

[MJ1657]

I tip upped on Saturday too. 1 fish in 8 hours on 8 tip up's.

Speared yesterday and today. Got two yesterday nothing today. They were all fast movers today in and out of the hole full speed.

[tca12]

Went out today without the spear on Pelican by Albertville with tip-ups and friends (my first time there). Holy cow! I've never seen so many spearhouses in my life! I've also never seen so many ice blocks left up on the ice either. Must cut down on the snowmobiling. Only caught two snakes but the water looks clear and the weeds are green.

I'll be going out with the spear tomorrow in the rain at a different lake that is closer to home...

[MJ1657]

There are a bunch of blocks being left on the ice on the lake i'm on. Very disturbing.

Only saw one fish today and it came home with me. Nice eater size.

[Mcfin]

A gator was cicling my hole today but wouldn't come in. Something must have looked fishy to him. If he comes within spear range tomorrow he is going to need protection.

Please break them up if you see them out in the open.

It just takes a couple of min with the chisel and it could save someones life.

If you see the people leaving them let them know to put them under when they leave or break them up.

[MJ1657]

I'll do that.

[merkman]

Thanks!!!
