Here's the decoys BNS requested I make for the guys with the 3 largest pike. 9" Nord decoys, I put the writing on the top so from a pikes view it wont be seen, not like it matters but also then if you guys use them, well you can brag to everyone in the spear house while their down the hole. lol

Got out today to test out the gear, had 3"of ice in Avon, but only lasted an hour before i wussed out and scrambled off the lake, ice was really cracking. I did spear a nice 3 pounder and had another little guy down there for a while. full-39247-27225-20121205_104247_1.jpg

I just got of the phone with dixon, and things are on the up and up. the lake is froze tight, and there is no standing water anymore or open water. There talking 5 inches, so more then likely still walking out come friday and saturday.

The temp last night was down to 3 so that helped, and they are hoping that with the temps the next two days, we will have more then enough ice.

So with that being said, the event will go on as planned, and we will see you all friday morning.

I will be at dixon on thursday night, but not going to hit the ice til friday morning around 10. If yall want to get ahold of me, call my cell at 320.339. five 8 five 8.

Also, they know we will be in for pizza and beverages friday night after dark, so plan on that.

Hope so see you all there!!

Any body know how deep the weed line runs in this area of Winnie? I am looking at the map and trying to figure out a spot to try. I would like to be on the edge of the weeds fairly shallow. I have only speared Winnie once and I was set up in 12 feet of water, no weeds there. Any thoughts or suggestions? (Third river area)

Normally alot of us go out to the clay banks area which is just a big flat. Sounds like we will have to go straight out from the access because of ice conditions. BNS and some guys were there last year and would have a better idea about it

I believe there isn't going to be enough ice to run to the clay banks this year for the event after talking to Dixon today.

We will be all straight out from landing this year

And yes, we measure fish Friday till noon on Sunday!

Anyone neds information or help, call or text me!

Cya Friday!

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
