Anyone out spearing?

[minky]

Anyone had any luck spearing this season? I got my pb last week at 35 inches, total rush!

[Wanderer]

Congrats minky!

 

Unfortunately I haven’t cut a hole yet this year.  I’ve either been hunting or not had a long enough day on the ice yet to make it worth it.

 

I figure I need to get a hard side out somewhere so I can just walk up to it and sit for a while.  Like old dudes do. Cuz I’m getting old.

i usually head north to spear chuck, and with the conditions of the lakes up there.......nope..........as it sits now i probably wont even buy the license and go out.  first time since i was old enough to have to buy a license.

Nice 28 inch this morning, even got the meat saver shot right.

Nice looking spear.  oh yeah fish too.

Didn’t get a throw today but brought home a limit of crappies.  Nothing big, just the first 10 I caught.

Sure can!  
 

I’ve been liking the air fryer for them lately though.  Shore Lunch oven style works well but I might try some other breading.  Easier, cleaner and I can do small batches for lunches.

Got my last sit in before da blizzard

[Wanderer]

Good haul!  
 

Just curious if bass are legal to spear where you are?  I don’t care either way, just curious.  I think you said you run tip ups too.

[Ronnie D]

Bass & hammer handle swallowed da treble hook on tipups.

Private lakes in da murder mitten have their own rules. 

If some old geezer didn't nod off in da shanty, the bass might still be swimming, but the 2 bigguns were perfect headshots.

[Wanderer]

I noticed those head shots - nice!

 

Good for you keeping the deep hooked fish.  Some people don’t.

 

Sometimes I keep bass in the winter.  Smaller ones anyway like 10-12 inchers.  They’re just a big sunfish to me at that point.  Taste absolutely fine.

 

Hope the blizzard doesn’t mess up your lake.  Good luck!

Best sit so far this year

1 over , 4 under limit on a public lake & home by noon

There's gotta be something about the Lions not playing on Sundays that brings good karma to the hardwater.
