Lakes for Next Get together in Feb

[Dorkfish]

the ice this year sure does bite...one week its perfect the other week is horrible. so hopefully january and febuary its a hard freeze.

[Laska]

you made it to winnie. why wouldnt you make it there?

Cost, I have decoy shows in march n april that I gotta have gas for, besides its a little far for a day trip overnight trip no problem but, 8hrs of driving for like 6 or 7hrs of spearing, just dont make sense.

I think the lake that is picked for the late season GTG should be a Lake that we have never been on as a group. The Thrid flowage is a great place to hold a annual event but the late season should be a lake that is different each year.

The best way to show that spearfisherman are responsible with harvest opportunities is to show that by look and releae vids and not putting to much pressure on any one lake if possible.

GTG's are not for Trophys its for having fun wth the guys/gals that enjoy the same thing you enjoy

On that Note I wouldnt mind checking out Big Marine either be it a GTG or on my own HINT HINT DorkFish

hey man if you want to go to big marine just give me a shout. i'd love to go up there i think archerysniper would go aswell...mondays work the best for me

i agree with gordie, i think we should always try to get out ot new lakes.

ill post the poll here next week so we can pick!

[Dorkfish]

there is also lake john in anandale.... i had my glass replaced by a guy here in shakopee that told me his buddies went out to minnewaska and caught some huge northerns(tip up fishing) so i think if anyone has any ideas on clear lakes that would be the best decision. that way we are not fighting with water clarity...

so grab someone and go fishing test water clarities grab reports and we need to make a list of some decent lakes.... size of fish doesn't matter i would rather see 20 fish all day than see nothing but cloudy water...

Having the second GTG be a different lake each year would work for me.

[mrklean]

i like that idea get out on some different bodies of water

I tried Big Marine today. Set up in 12' along a weed edge. I could see my jigging spoon down to about 8' and could just barely make out weeds close to the bottom. Saw small sunnies, no northerns or muskrats.

[Gordie]

Heuy what part of the lake did you try on and do you think you would go back?

[Gordie]

Another lake to check out would be Nokay up by Mille Lacs

[Laska]

There's lake elysian- max depth 12ft,horseshoe which has islands, also reeds lake which doesn't have a slot on it anymore these are allover by the mankato area heard good things about all of them for pike #'s

Imo I think whatever lake we all decide should be able to be scouted or someone has been on before so we have an idea on where togo an setup so it gives everyone a chance to see pike since its a one day event, what do you guys think?

[BehindtheHead]
