It's kind of quiet here. Anyone been out spearing?

[MJ1657]

Thats awesome! I bet it was fun.

Hey Mcfin,if I don't see 4 each hour I think it's terrible. I think I'm done spearing for the season. Next weekend I'll be cutting ice at Longlake, for the plunge.

[Mcfin]

Early riser you must have sore arms cutting that many spear holes. Spike, don't take the plunge youself while you are cutting the hole.

well today was my last day of the year ended up with 1, saw probably 20-30 bass today which was pretty cool saw a few pigs to 2 that were easily 5 pounders.

[Spike76]

Hey Mcfin, HAPPY BIRTHDAY,have a great day , and have many more years of spearing. You're sister says happy birthday too.

[Gordie]

ALRIGHT GUYS LETS NOT HAVE THIS SPEARING FORUM BE THE QUEITEST ON THE SITE ..

I'm starting to plan for next season already and I hacve a wheeled house already in the works and a few more things planned or next season.. like

getting out way more than I did this year and even putting out my perm this year.

[MJ1657]

Happy Birthday Mcfin!

I agree with you Elwood its no fun when the board slows down this much. I have thoughts of putting wheels under my perm sometime to.

i might be building a new portable spear house

[spearman]

Well maybe if it stays this cold all year we might get to use the actual opener date with some ice.

mrklean,

I'm going to be doing the same thing this off season. Do you have a good ideas on how to build a two-man portable?

[Spike76]

I've got a portable that I haven't used in several years.The wind distracts from the whole experience. I've made several spear houses and the one I like best is four by six. It's seventyfive inches tall.I'm able to lift it alone onto a sled or trailer. I also made one four by five and six feet tall but then I had to cut a spear down to sixtyfive inches and I don't like a lighter spear. This has been one of the best years I've ever had and I'm almost sixtyfive.I've speared bigger fish other years but on Feb. 5, the twentyseventh northern was 31.5 and I also speared a 27.5 and a 28.5 which made this a great day.

[Mcfin]

Thanks for the birthday greetings guys.Mrs. Mcfin pulled up the last pike of the season on hook and line.Took my house off yeasterday and today I'm going through withdrawl. Trying to get up enough energy to do my long neglected chores but I am feeling lost without my spear in my hand.

[MJ1657]

I know the feeling Mcfin. Pulled mine yesterday too.

Replace that spear with a shotgun - still surplus turkey permits in your area. Looking ahead to the next season is what helps with the withdrawl. My wifey says this fishin and huntin stuff is getting to be year round and just never ends! Hey, I could be doing worse things.
