3rd Annual Lake Winnie Spearing Get to Gator.....December 7th-9th *****UPDATED 12/5/2012*****

[MJ1657]

Any body know how deep the weed line runs in this area of Winnie? I am looking at the map and trying to figure out a spot to try. I would like to be on the edge of the weeds fairly shallow. I have only speared Winnie once and I was set up in 12 feet of water, no weeds there. Any thoughts or suggestions? (Third river area)

Normally alot of us go out to the clay banks area which is just a big flat. Sounds like we will have to go straight out from the access because of ice conditions. BNS and some guys were there last year and would have a better idea about it

[mike woods]

Looking forward to thick ice this weekend

I'm hoping to be up there around 9 am on Friday, I will probably give you a call BassandSpear when I get up there.

Bowhunt

Coming to the GTG?

[bassNspear]

I believe there isn't going to be enough ice to run to the clay banks this year for the event after talking to Dixon today.

We will be all straight out from landing this year

And yes, we measure fish Friday till noon on Sunday!

Anyone neds information or help, call or text me!

Cya Friday!

I'm at Dixon. Spoke to some guys tonight that were out on ice! Said that fishing a been slow and not seeing many fish at all!

Still walking out as he stated is 5-6 inches of ice. The weather is cold, but we need the wind to stop!!

Thanks for the update.

Hopefully the fish start to move. It will be a great time even if they don't.

[mrklean]

Lets hope the fish start moving this weekend

[Laska]

with the cold front they will turn on-on Saturday is my guess. If Im right I want a cookie, and a brownie no nuts.

[merkman]

[smurfy]

Ice conditions are 6 inches. We have 4 wheelers out today. Water clarity if very clear. Just hope fish start moving as we haven't seen anything yet

[thatoneguy]

Is there room for one more in case I can sneak out there? Not sure if I can wrangle a kitchen pass this weekend, but I'd love to join y'all if I can.

[MJ1657]

Lots of room on the ice!

[smurfy]

Day one is in the books! Not alot of fish have been seen, abd when you do see them, they get spoked very easy with no snow on the ice.

Behindthehead has a 29 and Hawkeye has a 26.

Full day today, do I'm expecting to see alot more fish!

Next update after pot luck at noon!!

Bowhunt, well done sir!!! That's as big as I've heard of coming out of 3rd River in years!!! As i remember the biggest we saw was around 34-35". Are you guys still seeing a lot of bass? How about panfish?

[Laska]

I think Sam would agree I deserve a cookie and a no nuts brownie!

I didn't hear of anyone seeing any bass. Quite a few perch were hanging around and a few walleyes.
