Lets just say you could pick a lake I mean any lake to spear on what would it be and why.

Lets also say that for this question that all lake s in Minnesota were legal to spear pike out of.

I'm not trying to start a controversy or anything like that just wondering what you guys would choose.

Now this is all Hypothetical.

I would want to spear Cass Lake

Reason why to possibly put that fish of a life tme on the wall.

Mille Lacs Lake. Years ago I enjoyed spearing on the pond. The water was as clear as if it came out of the tap, 12-15 feet for spearing was perfect. There was an abundant population of fish to keep your interest. Often there would be 2-3 northern in the hole at one time checking out the big sucker minnow. And (at the time) sticking eelpout always kept to awake. One day I had the oppritunity to watch three northern that went well over fifteen pounds each, come in and then slowly leave. What a rush! It sure would be fun to have them days back with some of the video equipment we have now.

I speared on LOTW 10 years ago or so. We went out of Zipple with all our own gear. We set up in five feet of water and couldn't make out the bottom. Since that time I have been back twice over the years and each visit was the same. Maybe some years it's ok but I gave up on it.

+1 on Zipple Bay.

BTW, I used to set up a spear house to fish for stocked rainbow trout in Northern MN. I never speared from that house, but I fished all winter through a spear hole. It was a lot of fun to watch those fincky trout.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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?
