jvm1 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 He liked it a lot. Visibility was beyond terrible we speared for about an hr. Gonna try again this week. Might run up to fish since it was so much clearer than the lakes around my house.lakes don't even freeze back home so just being on top of the ice blew his mind!

Neighbor_guy Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 It's the goose's birthday today so I decided to fix up an antique shop spear for her. It looked like it rode around in the back of a pickup for 50 years but the times were all straight. After some work with a brillo pad, a wipe down with some vinegar and a little bit of paint it turned out like so... Don't tell her though, it's a surprise.

bowhunt Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Great present NG. I hope she spears a big one with it. Then we will get to see who has the bigger smile in the photo you or your daughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhunt Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Well I have been having a tough couple of weeks trying to find some pike to spear, but today I ended up seeing a few Muskies and got a couple videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhunt Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I was guessing right around 30 inches, saw a few smaller ones as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neighbor_guy Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Wanderer and I chased a hot tip today. Gots to day, so far it's been a bit of a dud... I did get the pleasure of pulling a Jeremy and joining the phone in the bottom of the spear hole club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderer Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Funny you bring that up. I got a text to bring my big magnet to the lake today from someone you just mentioned. Gotta get me one. I'm pretty careful about checking to see if my phone pocket is zipped when I'm looking over the hole but I KNOW its just a matter of time... I was glad to see N_g get his phone without getting too wet. The hot tip sucked - let's face it. But the baked pike and perch were tasty. Just a good thing not many people were hungry!

MJ1657 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 I had an awesome day. Had a very big girl come in and stare at my live sucker. I fumbled around to get my phone out and snap a pic and the flash was on! She grabbed my sucker and took off with it and ate it. She instantly came back and went after my artificial and missed. Came back for it a second time grabbed it and ran out about 5 feet of line before she spit it out. I hope she comes back tomorrow! Pic is poor and does not do her justice.

Archerysniper Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hey Sam,I was on that lake New years day and saw a gigantic muskie,took one pike with the spear and 3 on tipups. Yes Mj's magnet was able to recover my chisel from the bottom of the lake,slipped out of my buddies hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamalex72 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Magnets come in handy. They even saved my lucky duck last fall, and my decoy reels this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neighbor_guy Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I need to find me one of those "rare earth magnets" that merk was showing off at the gtg... they take up a lot less space than the big one I used to use, and a little para cord on it should be able to retrieve just about anything that goes kerploop...

hawkeye43 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I take para cord and daisy day the cord so it doesn't get all tangled up and store a 100' cord about a foot long. boy scouts taught even the old man something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvm1 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 MJ almost had my nephew's game boy at the bottom of his hole last week. Amazing how easy it is to drop things down the hole, it's almost like they jump out of your hand and try to go for a swim. On that note many thanks again for letting me use your house MJ. My brother in law and his boy really enjoyed it. My sister said "I will now hear the story about spearfishing for the next 6 months every time we see someone new." I took my brother in law out one more time on Saturday morning before their plane left later that evening. Small lake by my house here in the east metro. We had a big girl come in the hole. He took too long to throw and she swam away. That one is going to haunt him for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
