Looking for Some Direction

[FJK]

Hello everyone.. first time on the forum. It's a new year and I'm done arguing with the ex.. it's time to get out and do some fishing/spearing with my 8yr old son. I grew up in the Duluth area and have been living in Champlin the past several years but just haven't taken time to learn any of the lakes near home. I want to take him spearing for his first time this weekend and I'm looking for some direction. I want to stay within an hour or so north of Champlin. We've been fishing crappies on rush without much luck, hoping to change it up and introduce him to the great sport of spearing. I'd like to get him on a clear lake where he can get a good look at a few northerns. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Yup Sunday on Fish lake in Harris, Lake George is also a good lake you might not get any big ones but a lot of pike in it.

Thanks guys! I've found a few lakes in the area I want to check out.. I'm looking forward to the weekend. Let me know if you ever need the scoop on any lakes up north of Duluth.

If you change your mind we will be cooking hot dogs and talking smart at Fish Lake on sunday.

Its around an hour from Champlin.

Go straight out from the access. My house is green and has fish and spears painted all over it. Can't miss it.

Thanks for the invite, hope you guys had fun! My son and I did hit fish lake saturday for a few hours, slow day. I did want to say thanks to.. I think his name was Steve ??, I'm guessing some of you guys know him. Very nice guy who took time away from his darkhouse to help put us on a good spot. Great to meet good people like that! I'm on my way out the door to try Green or Long.

let us know how you do out there on which ever lake you go to

I'm guessing it was your spear hole that the muskrat was busy hauling weed out of yesterday.

I'd be surprised if any muskrats came through the hole.. my blocks fell back in nicely. I went to George.. saw zippo. Then hit Rush and caught a whole bunch of crappies.
