St Cloud Area

[bassNspear]

as you all know i moved up here in Feb, so im still wet behind the ears for this area. Im trying to find some lakes, or lake, to spear on around here. Everywhere i go i either have really really dirty water, or clear water with no fish in it at all.

Again, not looking for spots, just looking for a point in the right direction for spearing.

ever go to grand that was always a nice clear lake

[bassNspear]

never been there, any reports on water clarity??

Borch is from your area,I don't think he spears but fishes a ton,shoot him a pm and he might be able to steer you towards a lake.

I spear quite a bit in the local area. As mentioned, Grand has a lot of pike and is clear about 95% of the time. Some other lakes that are sometimes clear with good pike numbers are Vails (mud), Rice, Koronis, and Carnelian. Recently I moved down towards annandale and have noticed most of the chain on the river are pretty clear but have not gotten out to try spearing any of them yet.

thanks for informaiton

im driving around today trying to find some lakes. Ill have to check them out.

Big LAke near richmond is another good option most winters. HAven't been there yet to see if it's clear right now or not. Grand is a good option as is Beaver. Pleasant near Rockvile is another lake with a good pike population and is generally pretty clear.

thanks all for the help

doesnt pleseant have a slot?

[quickfishnoob]

Saw one hammer handle all day on Beaver. Had decent luck on School Section last year.

[bassNspear]

i was going to walk out and talk to you today to see how it went, but then desided not to. were you right of the landing?

[quickfishnoob]

PGF and I were north of the landing.

figured as much. fun little lake, water levels are crazy since this summer. how was water clarity

[terrible_fisherman]

I used to live on Big by Richmond. It has a lot of dinks in it but a few nice pike too. Normally water was clear until late in the winter. Just be careful of the rats. They used to come into my spear hole pretty constantly and scare the [PoorWordUsage] out of me when they popped out of the hole.

[bassNspear]

i have one of them do that to me on cass lake, wow that was crazy stuff.

i went to grand today, didnt even see a bait fish. water pretty dirty

[quickfishnoob]

Beaver was cloudy on Tuesday, was clear as day last year. No fish today on Island lake, but crystal clear views.

[quickfishnoob]

BNS where did you go last week? Any luck? I am in preparation to go out this Saturday. I am thinking I might try School Section.

[bassNspear]
