Hello everyone. It seems to have been a long time since most of us have seen/heard from each other. Some of us are no longer with us.    In my eyes it seems that spearfishing unfortunately has

I made a trip to town to get some carpet and lumber. I'm changing the hole location in my 6x8 perm. I have the hole in the end right now and going to change it to a center hole so 4 of us can sit and watch. That is tomorrows project.

Do you have 2 doors MJ or is there room to walk around the hole? Won't be this year but I would like to build a 6x8 at some point

One door. There is enough room to step across the hole. Your left foot is on one side of the hole and your right steps over. I attached a grab handle on the wall so you have something to hold onto when you cross. I guess ideally two doors would be nice but this set up works just fine.

I have yet to get out once this year. frown

I doubt my husband and I will even put the permanent house out. I'll just spear out of the portable whenever we go.

We were going to chase flags today but decided to not fight the cold. We chose the warm spear shack instead. I'm glad we did we've seen 5 different pike in the first half hour.

I finally got out today, but the pike weren't moving. Saw 2 small pike, and some really nice bass. Hopefully tomorrow will be better on a different lake.

Me, Moll, and Joe had an awesome day on the ice. We seen lots of different pike including some pushing 30" and one over that. We just watched and let them all swim to grow bigger for another day.

My house is out and your neighbor knows where it is so use it.

Isn't it fun just playing with the big ones and bringing them back in time after time,

Thanks for the offer. I had my house on that lake last year and didn't have much luck. I haven't decided on what lake I wanna try, but maybe I can convince the hubby to cut me a hole.

Bring the house and a auger and I will cut the hole. We could use a couple more houses to circle the wagons and keep the tipup guy's a bit farther away.

Got out this morning from about 8:30-11:00. Had a muskie swim through right away, and then nothing for a long time. Eventually a couple of pike came in and gave me some action.

      Took my last ice fishing trip of the season to Burntside on Thursday.  Went out on the snowmobile to fish better spots.  I waited until daylight to go out so I wouldn't get lost or run into open water.  When I got to my destination I discovered that the battery fell off of my Ion auger on the trip out (I won't make that mistake again).  I backtracked all the way back to the landing before finding it on the ice.   I got my lines in the water just before sunrise and caught a 24 inch lake trout 45 minutes later.  Always exciting watching the lake trout peel line off of the tip-up with their strong runs.  He quit running with the pike sucker soon after I took the video and I thought it may have dropped the minnow.  Pulling the line in by hand I could feel it still on so I set the hook and caught it on the lip.  Think I caught it before it was going to swallow the minnow and take its 3rd and final run.  Was nice to finally catch a laker on Burntside again after 5 straight trips getting skunked.   It was a beautiful day on the ice with good ice conditions, warm weather, and fairly calm winds.  The creel survey guy stopped and checked on me.  He said I was the only one he saw fishing on Burntside that day.  He said that most anglers he checked on Burntside that winter were skunked for lake trout, so I guess it was just not my problem alone.   20250327_072410.mp4

      But, the deep fried Okra went in the trash can.  I've tried it a few times and it's just not for me.  Neither is Grits, chittlins, or crackling!  🤮

      I think it's alway fun to try local fish or foods when I go somewhere! 😋 A few weeks ago I was down on Dauphin Island Alabama and tried a little flounder. They had small, mid and large. My wife had crab cakes, I got the mid! 😳 😆
