Green Lake (Isanti county)

[MJ1657]

I was out on Green this afternoon. Water was murky and I didn't see anything except a few perch.

mj, welcome to FM. Glad to have ya part of the family here!

[MJ1657]

Thanks you for the greeting. Has anyone on here speared spectacle lake? I'm lookin for some ideas around my area. Isanti County

Green is good to spear.

I spear all over Isanti county.

I spectacle is good to spear too.

It is not as clear as everyone says

People spear Fannie too.

Even George a little south of us

[MJ1657]

I think I will try spectacle next. Any pointers on where to go out there? I have heard conflicting reports on water clarity there.

There is one good spot on the east side of the lake.

I have seen a couple northerns there (all fast movers)... and got my but chewed out because someone came about 2 hours after I got there and said he has been spearing that same spot for 35 years and I wasn't welcome there. I gave him the rest of my live decoys after I spent the day spearing and he was a little freindlier.

If you get chewed out you will know you are in the right spot. :-)

Cabbage south of the public landing.

I would love to set up on that weedline some time.

There is a big deep hole out from the public beach on the west side of the lake. The gate is normally closed until later in the season.

I have yet to try setting up on the edge of that but that should be a good spot to try.

There are some humps in the North west corner.

Those might be a good place to try too.

They fill up quick so I never spear on them.

I prefer to be by my self even if I don't see as many fish.

I have tried straight north of the landing but didn't have much luck there either.

I have never found clear water at Spectacle but I spear in much cloudier water than most would, so it don't bother me.

There are some springs in there too if you set up on the edge of a spring in late season it should be good too.

[MJ1657]

Thanks alot! I don't care for sitting in real cloudy water but i'll try it.

[merkman]

I think that I heard that George is clearer?

I am not sure about this year.

Come on over and give it a try was out fishing crappies tonight and noticed a couple spear shacks out 7-8" of ice went across the whole lake with no problems lots of people out with the tip-ups try to catch pike.
