Since this forum is all but dead (since the fishing went to sh*t) sans the occasional lake-management/harvest firestorm, thought I'd lighten it up with a great pic off the webcam today. Assuming good ice, I'm still going to take at least one crack at things this year. Anyone else?

Gonna bring the spear house up and give it a couple tries

Posted

As soon as I can ride the sled to the flats I'm going out. I know its been aweful fishing but worth a shot.

Planning on heading up to cove bay this weekend to chase some pike for the day. Don't need to venture out that far to hit some fishable water and I'm sure the ice will be fine by then .......

I don't think the fishing has been *that* bad...and I'm guessing (hoping?) that this winter will be better than most are expecting. That being said, expectations aren't that high, so maybe this isn't saying much. smile

We'll still have the houses out there this year. I'll probably skip the Pond a few times to head elsewhere, but I'll still probably spend 20 nights on the ice (if we can avoid any major snowstorms that screw everything up). I'm pretty low-key when ice fishing....a good book and a cold drink make me happy. Fish are a bonus. smile

Plus, there are always the pike. Big sucker minnows + tip-ups = fun.

With this cold there should a good 8" out there by Saturday. Not going out to far dragging my clam out there. Thinking 7'-9' along the weed edges.

I forgot about the spearing. Anyone know the regs for spearing on ML this year? Cant seem to find them on the DNR HSOforum. Would be fun spearing in that clear water.

Check out spear houses on wakon. There a link to the DNR web site

Pike limits are 10 fish with only 1 over 30", the season is also extended till I believe the end of March but don't quote me on that one, this is Pike regs in general no special spearing regs

Ya I saw the general regs for pike but thought maybe spearing might be different. If anyone near or going by Elk River decides to go up and try some spearing and is looking for someone to tag along and split expenses I might be interested. Ive got a pop up and a brand new custom made spear that hasn't touched the water yet.

With good ice, I'll get up for a day of reading now and then I guess!!

Hopefully I will be able to rent a day house off the rocks around Doe Island and fish Pike and Perch.

Walleye/Crappie I stay closer to the Cities now a days.

      All of those Polaris sleds from that era were notorious for flooding and leaking. I've still got a 2003 XCSP 600 Edge that my daughter rides. As you noted, you need to shut off the fuel in those situations.
    • SkunkedAgain
      Yes, but it could make for an amazing walleye opener.

      How old is your belt?   My old Polaris 4 wheeler with belt drive was bogging at mid range to top end last year.  Changed the belt and that problem went away.
    • JerkinLips
      Previous owner (22 years and 5,000 miles ago) said it was prone to flooding when sitting for a long time or trailering, so I shut the fuel off in both cases.   Primary is significantly worn.  I replaced several rollers and pins which helped.  I have two used clutches in much better condition that I could (and should) install.   It seems more like when I hit the throttle, but the bog could be from poor clutch shifting.  Will have to pay attention next time and inspect the clutches.  Thanks for the ideas.

      Nope, he beat me fair and square, all his.  This weather had been depressing. As it sits now we are looking at a later than normal ice out. I hate scrabbling with docks, lifts, boats right before opener. Also limits some pre opener crappie chances.

      👍 when/if i get drawn.....which i should know about june 1 we'll get in touch........both my kid and myself should get drawn.   and thanks.........with 6 preference points............i think are odds are pretty good.............there giving out 375 permits......and since we had yogi and booboo destroy my birdfeeders last spring......🙄

      In those years Polaris was known to put buna tipped needles in there sleds. They get a ring around the seat and don't seal shut. But if that would be the case your problem would be with the motor shut off and filling the crankcase with gas. If your plugs are brown that is were they should be. I wouldn't drop that needle down to the last grove. I would replace them before I did that. I have never had a carb with that setting. Have you looked at your clutches? They could be dirty or have a bad roller.  Does it bog as it's accelerating or when you hit the throttle?     
    • Mike89
      but if he really wants I can change the date..  
    • Wanderer
      As soon as I started reading mind went to needles and seats.  You might want to try just replacing those first?  I’ve only done that once before in my life but it made the difference.  A carb refresh in 8,000 miles seems reasonable.
    • Wanderer
      Good luck smurfy!  On getting drawn, I mean!   If it comes down to it, I know a guy that might be interested in a nice hide.
