Spearfest recap


Gordie

Recommended Posts

They had a great turn out for this contest.

I'm thinking there was close to 200 poeple on the ice this year and I think they fill ed the contest with 150 people as well. I cant remember a contest of any sort that gives out a prize to everyone who entered and the MC, Scott puts on a show. He is the Highlight of the contest.If ddnt spear it I would come down just to see the raffle drawings and his antics.

The weather was outstanding a perfect day to stand outside and enjoy a minnesota

winter day.

There was quite a few pike speared this year and yours truley took home 5th place.

The fish that placed ranged from just a bit over 11 pounds to 7 pounds

It was great to see a bunch of HSO spearing guys there ,Dealer, Jr, behind the head,MJ, browning gold and deerhunter.

This event is always a fun time and the food is second to none this year chili, hotdogs and porkchops were on the menu and of corse adult beverages.

I would like to say thanks to all the people that speared this contest and this is the reason for spearing a long lived tradition which we spearfishermen and women love to particapate 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?
