Yep were out to have a good time and meet others that share the same passion as we do or teach others that have not ever done it before.

Some of us are memebers of a spearing group but not everyone is or no one is required to be either.

I think the only requirement has been to just show up.

Oh and be ready to laugh your But off laugh Here at..HSO..WE HAVE MORE FUN..

I haven't done much spearing this year, put about 9 hours in on Artichoke early and got one 7 pounder, all my favorite lakes are very cloudy. I have my house on waska now catchin sunfish, northerns and bass. I will probably pull it in shallower end of the week and cut a spearing hole. I have prior obligations on the afternoon of the 25th, but could spear in the am. What part of the lake are you folks going to gather at, I will be close to Sacks access and it would be nice to meet some of you, as I just joined and find myself checking HSO everyday.

fishadb,We normally have some kind of lunch on the ice potluck style and talk for a bit and back to the shacks till the award cerimony where they will present me with the Nord Lord trophie grin.

What are the lunch plans? I will grab my normal goodies and we should probably try and pick a general meeting spot.

Got out a few times this on Waska over the past few days...really a lot of pike, so you guys should be happy! Broke several lines...we did have light line however since it was set up for walleyes more than gators. Didn't see any really big ones with most in the 2 to 4 lb range...but it was about every 5 to 10 minutes another one was on the camera chasing the panfish away. Stop by the store and I can give you some spots to set up at. It will be interesting to see what you have for reports afterwards.

Fish On!

That would be great if you gave us some tips. What landing do you suggest we go out from?

The Lakeside landing has been the one I have been using but I have also used the DNR landing. Ice pushes up at the Lakeside landing occasionally but the City knocks it back down when needed. Landings can change daily of course so we will have to take a look Friday for you to give you more up to date reports.

There are MANY good spots for spearing on Waska...and a VERY healthy pike population. There are some big pike in the lake but there are a lot more in the 2 to 4 lb range right now...and they are hungry by the amount of snapped lines I have had. If you get any pike with small red hooks in them...that would be mine. smile

Weather is supposed to cool off into the 20s towards the weekend so that should firm the accesses and ice up which will be good. Got some slushy snow last night so it is a little messy now...but workable.

I usually have a good stock of live spearing decoys on hand but let me know if you are going to need more than I expect to make sure we don't run short...10, 12, 24? more?

Fish On!

Seen A LOT of gators on the camera today. Most of them had fat bellies but were cruzing and harassing the panfish. They would come take a look at my sucker but would then move on looking for sunfish. I did have one hit my sucker and took the sucker off without even the bobber going down. Dang thing!

I seen a couple really nice sized fish also that might have been in the 6 to 8 lb range...big fat bellies on them.

Anyone excited?

Lakeside landing has heaved some but I asked the City to take the loader down and level it up. If not, I may bring my tractor in to do some maintenance. One way or another we will get'r fixed up for the weekend.

Fish On!

Thank you again Landdr for the info and checking the access. I know I will swing in and get my suckers from you we normally get 2 a person and we have 4 going. How big are the decoy suckers that you have?

Anyone else going to swing in their and get bait,it would be nice to drop our $$$$ there. I would hate however for him to get a bunch of decoy sucker and have him getting stuck with them on the last weekend of season.

I agree with Archery Sniper landdr has been a great resource for getting this going.

Where is lakeside landing and where does a guy need to go from there?

I imagine people will be getting there at different times so if we could get a general area we could all meet up and be in the same general area.

I'll be coming up Saturday morning. My number is seven 6 thre seven 44 eight 7 one 8.

Thanks again Landdr.

Landdr is a stand up guy and runs a great store. The few times I fished waska last year he really helped point us to the fish.

Thanks for all your help landdr hope I can make it up if not I'll see for some late season pannies.
