ac777 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hey, I will be staying at Craguns this weekend, and would like to get out spearing at lest once during the weekend. Could someone point me in the right direction, I wont have the time to go too far from the resort, maybe I can just go in the little bay that its on. Does anyone spear here? Hows the clarity? Not looking for coordinates, just general advice, I can pick my own spot. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearing Machine Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Gull's got some dandy pike in it and the clarity ain't too bad. I usually spear off Gov't point as do quite a few others but mostly in the early ice season (December). I wouldn't see why over by Craguns wouldn't be good. I would look for a spot 8-10 fow preferable on or near a nice break line. I have speared pike over sand but if you can find some nice green weeds it would help. Good luck!

Bassinbob84 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I haven't speared gull this year but did well last year. Right on the edge of the breaks. Inside turns off big points in 12- 15 fow. I've moved since then and haven't been down to ice fish the area yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassNspear Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 must be pretty clear if your able to spear in 12-15 fow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heelclickerman Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Water is very clear on Gull I am spearing in wilson bay, and Craguns is in steamboat bay. Goodluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishuhalik Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 must be pretty clear if your able to spear in 12-15 fow Oh, I feel bad for all you guys that have only speared the dirty waters of the southern half of MN. There's a good number of lakes north of Mille Lacs that you can spear in 20'+ and see bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinbob84 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 15-17 fow is about as deep as you can get and still see bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
