smurfy Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 question for you all experts!!!!! both lakes i set up my spear shack the water was dirty. the cabin lake was horrendous. its always been bog stained but good gawd, i was in 8 ft of water, had my decoy down about 3 ft below the ice and couldnt see the pike that poked at my decoy. was it due to the rain?? lake turnover, or because of lack of snow maybe an algae bloom>>>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some nasty looking water up here last summer due to algae bloom. You didn't drop any of that rancid Jiff down your hole by accident did you!

Wanderer Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I’ll go with algae bloom too. Last year the lake I fish early crappies on had red tint to it, different than I’ve seen before. Wasn’t worth cutting a hole for spearing. This season it was back to normal. chaffmj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
