It's kind of quiet here. Anyone been out spearing?

[Archerysniper]

Last year the spearing started to pick up around this time for bigger fish so hopefully you will get another chance. Where your house is was were I was spearing last winter acording to my gps so it should start getting better till the season closes.

[Mcfin]

Yes but I heard you have been cheating and using hand carved decoys.

[Mcfin]

Hope you are right, I needed some encouragement.

[Archerysniper]

Not all true by best bear creek is laying on the bottom of the lake not far from your shack.

[MJ1657]

Well go get it!!!

[Mcfin]

I was replying to Laska because he was boasting that he has gotten the biggest fish so far.

[MJ1657]

Dealer got a 31 this year but we didn't weigh it. I did see bigger fish late in the season last year.

I'll be back out tomorrow and see what happens.

[Mcfin]

My guess is a 31 is about 6 pounds. Laska still might be number one. I don't normally weigh mine unless it is mighty big.

[Laska]

Yes but I heard you have been cheating and using hand carved decoys.

well you should be cheating shortly then from what I know!! and its what I got my fish with!

I agree a 31 should be 6lbs mine really was a fatty tho!

[woodspliter]

According to my chart a 31" northern should weight 8-1/2 lbs.

[Mcfin]

In the past, I've gotten some really skinny long ones and some short fat ones.That is part of the fun of pike hunting.

[MJ1657]

I speared a 32 last year that looked like it could have eaten alot of the other fish I have seen that length. It does make it interesting.

[NDpikepoker]

well boys I got a couple of good leads on good lakes here in ND to try. gonna go out on juanita lake and Sibley Lake south of Binford this weekend. I am thinkin Sibley is gonna be good. That lake is full of norskis and has never been speared. rarely fished. I remember 2 years ago I couldn't keep the 8 to 15pounders off my line. ooohhh! I'm gettin exited just thinkin about it! I'll keep u posted.

[Mcfin]

Got a suprise birthday gift in the mail from one of my sons today.A genuine handcrafted Laska spearing decoy. Now with my new decoy and new spear, those toothy critters won't have a chance.

[MJ1657]

Awesome! Which one did you get?

[Mcfin]

Red and white

[Bowfin]

Yes but I heard you have been cheating and using hand carved decoys.

Happy Birthday McFin - now you can cheat too. You've got no excuses for not getting the big one!

[Mcfin]

Thanks- They will have to put those pike on the endangered spiecies list.

[MJ1657]

I'll be spearing somewhere else for a couple days Mcfin. Leave a couple for me!!!

[Gordie]

Yep Happy Birthday Mcfin hope it was a good one sounds like you got an awsome present

[Mcfin]

Thanks, I will be trying it out tomorrow.

[Mcfin]

I'll save you a couple of big dogfish.

[MJ1657]

Thanks alot! I actually wouldn't mind seeing one just once.

[Mcfin]

They are not pretty.

[MJ1657]

I have caught them in the summer but never seen one in a spear house.
