where are you going spearing at MJ?

are you going to green?

I'll be on Fish Lake by Harris (just north of North Branch) I think i'm going to move my perm out there tomorrow so i'm not sure when I will actually spear. I will be out there spearing Sunday. Come on up, its just west of 35 at the Harris exit.

Give me a call if you want seven six three seven four four eight seven one eight.

what time are you going to be up there?

and whats the water clarity like?

10:00. Water clarity is good, its not as clear as Green but its fine. It's much better than last year.

Bring your atv. It freezes up late because it gets so deep. Probably could drive out now but i'm fairly cautious when it comes to that.

I stuck a 34" length, 24" girth, 24.2 pound carp today.

Two came through my hole today this one was the smaller of the two. The bigger one was in the lead but I didn't grab my spear in time to get it.

It was a little tough on my spear.

I was up with my grandpa and cousin this weekend on the third water flogage. Lots of nice panfish and stuck a couple pike each day. Nothing too great though. Lots of big walleye coming through the hole too but couldnt get them to bite on anything.

Same here, small pike but huge walleye, had a walleye miss my jig then gave up before another bite... was close to 30" guessing 9 or 10 lbs

Have the northerns lost their teeth and is that why they are not very aggressive yet? Most of the northerns are staying on the outside of the hole and nothing is attacking the decoy??

Everyone seems to be having that problem this year.

I am not sure why pike would be less active statewide year vs year.

Could it be all the snow on the ice this year leading to lower oxygen levels in the water?

Global warming, smarter fish, who knows? smile

you'd have a hard time of convincing me of this based on what i seen on minnewaska all day sat!!! they were nuts! problem was once they attacked the bear creek or live chubby the bolted out as fast as they came in.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
