Newbie (kinda)

[Mouldy]

Hi all. I finally got done hunting for the most part and ready to hit the ice. I have speared a little before with a friend around Grand Rapids, but I have dug out my Great Grandpa's stuff, got it all ready and ready to get on some pike. I got new decoys though, because his decoys are from the 40's or 50's and need to be put on a shelf, not on a line.

I'm from the Rush City area and I see that some of you are from the Harris area. Excited to get to know ya guys and gals a bit and hopefully learn a bunch.

Welcome to HSO, Mouldy. I'm really new to this spearing thing myself. I have gotten bit by the bug, though. From what ArcherySniper has told me, there's some decent lakes around here to try.

I am a newbie as well. I've speared a couple of pickeler's, but now i'm looking for some nicer ones for the frying pan. any tips as to what to look for far as to what to set up on/near?

I'm hoping to set my perm house on Fish Lake by Harris on Sunday. Dealer and Jr. are probably going to set theirs to.

Work is probably going to keep me off the lake for a week or two. You guys will be welcome to use my house. It's a 6x8 with a 30x48 hole. I would rather see it getting used then sitting there empty.

I'll let you know if we get it out.

northernsportsman, what part of northern mn are you from? grew up by grand rapids and know alot of good lakes that i could put you on to get some eaters.

[northernsportman]

[Archerysniper]

Don't worry MJ my work schedule looks really slow I will keep your spear hole open

[MJ1657]

Don't worry MJ my work schedule looks really slow I will keep your spear hole open

I'm counting on it!

[Archerysniper]

Even if I cant make it out there spearing I'm planning on swinging in every other day and open the holes in both houses so when you guys can make it it won't be too hard on you.

[polarispro600]

guess I need my house on fish lake. Would you be so kind and open the hole in my house also archerysniper?

[Archerysniper]

No problem polaris,it will cost you another turkey hunt on your land this spring maybe my hunt will last longer then 15 min this time

I need direction Arch and if my back wasnt so sore I would cut ten holes to get turkey huntin access

[Archerysniper]

Gordy he has the best turkey hunting land when the arrow hit my bird 6 more toms pounded him for 10 minutes it was a blast.

Just to get you thinking of spring Gordy,this is polarispros land last spring.

Mouldy keep in touch on this thread,I normally spear ever Sat/Sun and if I don't have any work I go out during the week,lots of great lakes in the area and not enough time to hit them all. If you have any questions on lakes post them here and I will help and your welcome to tag along any time.

Will do, got out yesterday on Goose. The water was quite murky compared to last year for some reason (decoy barely visible while moving at 7 ft). I am currently unemployed so I can spear pretty much any day. I would love to tag along sometime. I can use any tips I can get. Trying to get as much by fishing of this site as I can, but nothing beats experience.

[Archerysniper]

Mouldy I'm heading out tomorrow morning to Fish Lake planning on being there around 8am,I don't know how late the boss will let me hang out but hoping to spear till 1. Mj will be out sometime mid day also. If interested post here and I will check in later tonight and the morning before I leave the house.

[Mouldy]

Would love to get out, but we are hitting crappies up in the morning... I'll PM ya next time I'm not planning something with the college boys that are home. Thank you much for the offer!

[Archerysniper]

Well I might be out sunday am and for sure on monday probably all day.
