open seat this whole week...

[Laska]

So I just got my perm "nord" darkhouse out on lake winona and I'm set up perfect this time in 11fow with a solid drop off to 30ft with panfish swarming the area, so needless to say ill be spearing hardcore this whole next week if anyone wants to come down south n take a stab at a trophy last week a 84 year old guy caught a 18lb 40" nord on 3lb test! Shoot me an email if your interested! Laskasmarine at yahoo . com

Good Luck!

[Laska]

I actually am in 15fow clarity down to 9ft, on the bottom of a drop off, too bad ya can't make it... Maybe next year ill keep ya posted when I'm out again, still an open seat to anyone else, guy just today.had a bid nord snap his line 50ft from my shack but haven't seen anything yet...

[bassNspear]

ya forsure. its best for me in dec when i am out of work!

[Dan Tenn]

Where are you at on the lake? Same place as last year? I have been out lately fishing, but not spearing.

[Laska]

I'm the guy in the northern painted shack in the middle of the east lake so far I've seen 5bass 2over 6lbs and about 2 dozen nice size sunnies, no nnords yet tho

[bassNspear]

gonna see that big hawg if your not seeing any little ones LOL

[Laska]

Total bass count from yesterday was 25 10 of which were over 5lbs 5 of which were over 6 n 7lbs no joke, givin er another go tomorrow, from sunup to sundown here we go! O saw over 30 sunnies too

[Gordie]

Good luck Laska hope you see some pike

[Laska]

Thx elwood hopin I see atleast 1 ts all I'm asking for-the bare minimum, gordie u can post those pics I sent you on here if ya want

[bassNspear]

dude, you need to move and get on some pike

[Laska]

I quit... that spot hopefully when I take the portable out Ill see some on the west lake I just hope the clarity is better than the 2fow it was last year when I had a hawg in the hole, didnt have time to spear it cuz I couldnt see it... I got some new deaks to try too so hopefully that will increase my chances, Ill keep ya guys posted!

[bassNspear]

hope you can get on a spot and get some fish, or at least see some pike!

[Laska]

Me too! I'm doing some tip ups with heidi today, on the west lake on the south side on the inside turn, its where I saw the hawg last year so hopefully I get one to hit so I know where to set up! Best thing I can think of to do at this point...

[Laska]

heres some pics of the hole with some bass and then some new deaks i have made n in the process of...

kinda bad pics but what can ya do you can still see all the bass tho...

Pumkinseed sunfish

12" Northern

Some other nords I have to get around to painting...

[bassNspear]

looks like your in a bit deeper water?

[merkman]

Nice new batch of dekes!!

I can't say any one is beter than the other.

I like them all!!

How does the sunfish swim?

[waterbound]

That pumpkinseed decoy is really cool. Looks like one of the older folk decoys but with a lot more detail.

[Laska]

Merk you'd love the sunfish, it swims just like your cisco decoy nice n slow on the downfall with a fast swim when you pull up its truely my best swimming decoy yet! Gotta perch that's in the running for best swimming tho its 8 3/4" long and swims almsot the same! The sunfish looks exactly like the pic I copied it from, had a lot of sunfish swarm to this thing already, every time it only took a couple minutes on the water n there they were

About lake winona went n scouted earlier today n I have my next spot for the perm, talked to a guy who caught a 32 n a 34" nord in the same spot on the west lake with tip ups, he's in 6fow approx with a 20ft drop off just feet away on a bend that leads into a 10' hump, water clarity is the only prob cuz I can only see about 4 to 5' down but it'll do!

[waterbound]

4 to 5 feet visibility sounds a little low, but if that's where the fish are that's where you should be!

[Laska]

Yeah guys were using tip ups 2ft below the ice max so I shouldn't have a problem moved the perm today right at dark n the visibilty was 2fow but it was getting dark so its hard to judge

[merkman]

I want to get down that way Laska.

I've been real busy here latley though.

[Laska]

Its cool whenever ya can ill take ya! Sounds like ill have a power auger soon too!

[Laska]

Newest perch 8 3/4" long, 6 coats of clear coat, she shines like a diamond!

[Gordie]

laska give me a call

and that perch is sweet looking
