Gordie Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I'm think I'm going to start a batch on saturday along with fireing up the smoker with some tulies'pike and cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merkman Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I coulda got you a bullhead to go with those cats. Actually I eat farm raised catfish but that is about it. Unless I am down south... then I catch my dinner. The tulies you can throw my way... those are awesome smoked. We used to smoke Mooneyes too when we were growing up catching suckers out of the river... whenever we were lucky enough to catch one that is.

rattlem'up Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 the last time i was out would have been last sunday. Took my buddy who won the ice saw out again and did pretty well. I speared the first (34") and let him sit in the hot seat. He missed his first but then came back and speared his 3. Had 3 northerns smash the decoy a couple times that was fun to watch. Going to try and get out this weekend also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gissert Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I fished last Fri-Tue. I ended up with 2 fish speared, and passed one in the 36-38 inch range. Saw a few more hugging the bottom. Not much interest by the fish, but that should pick up in another 2-3 weeks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ1657 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Was out from noon until 5:00. Slow day today, saw 4 northerns total. One was nice sized and the others were really small. Another giant carp came through again just out of range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardn184 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 got out for the first time this year only my second time spearing, took one of my buddys who's never been out before. I stuck the first one, a 26incher, then the second one came in and my buddy threw at it three different times before he gave up and gave me the spear to finish the fish, was another 26incher, can't believe that northern came back three times and never left the hole. I'm absolutely hooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterbound Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Actually I was on Cenaiko. I think I'm going to set up in the bay right in front of the access the next time I spear it. Hopefully I'll finally see a pike in that lake and worst case I might be able to sight fish the trout (although I've never heard of anybody catching through the ice there).

thedeadsea Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 We tip up and jig fished on Saturday. No flags in 4 hours in a lake chocked full of pike. One hit on a bucktail with a sucker minnow. Only 2 lookers on the vex, and they very well could have been another species. I think the slump is here, at least in my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ1657 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 I tip upped on Saturday too. 1 fish in 8 hours on 8 tip up's. Speared yesterday and today. Got two yesterday nothing today. They were all fast movers today in and out of the hole full speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tca12 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Went out today without the spear on Pelican by Albertville with tip-ups and friends (my first time there). Holy cow! I've never seen so many spearhouses in my life! I've also never seen so many ice blocks left up on the ice either. Must cut down on the snowmobiling. Only caught two snakes but the water looks clear and the weeds are green. I'll be going out with the spear tomorrow in the rain at a different lake that is closer to home...
