What are my Spearing Buddies Doing Now?

Whats everyone up to?

Who has all made some changes over the years. I just got done replace the floor in my old mankato house that i pushed off all summer. It was kind of a job, but it gave me somethign to do over the course of the summer when i wasnt bass fishing.

Anyone else doing some work?

I have been thinking about building a permanent 4X6 house for those real windy days. I know basic carpentry, but would like to hear about considerations regarding durability without adding too much weight.

I found an old galvanized minnow bucket at a garage sale for a buck. I think it could be incorporated into a good system for keeeping a few decoy minnows alive under the ice for a few nights.

I am really looking forward to fall hunting and spearing seasons after all this heat!

Its always fun to be able to get out there and enjoy the winters.

I love it out there when the snow is flying.

I hope we get some good cold weather early this year so the ice is good and stronge and the lakes clean up faster!!

It would be nice. Im hopping that we get a TON of snow, to help the water levels on the lakes come spring.

EarlyRiser and I went chasing some smallmouth on an area river with the fly rods yesterday afternoon. Nothing big, but the smaller fish were pretty cooperative... Here's a pic of "The Earlyone" with one of the many bass he hooked.

We saw some Osprey and an adult Bald Eagle, which was pretty cool too.

Ironically, here's one I caught last year from the same spot (and wearing the same shirt - LOL)

STIFFY,

Whats going on my brother? How has the summer been treating you over the course of the last few month?

Just to inform you, im going to be holding a Spearing Outing this year, might need you to help me up.

[Stiff]

I'll be happy to help out if I can. I'll drop you an e-mail and we can work out the details.

I was talking to a few of the guys about this up coming season. Ther eis alot of talk that this might be the best year for spearing in a long time.

Reason that i say this, is becuase of the water levels. Your going to be able to spear in places this year then you couldnt do in years past. My feeling is that there is going to be places that i have been going for years, that are only going to get better, becuase your going to be able to go into different places, that allow you to cover a different place on a lake.

I am looking forward to the season, that is right around the corner.

I am going to spend all day on monday to look for new spots for the spearing season. Like i stated before, i think that there is going to be alot more structor that a guy is going to be able to sit over becuase the water levels.

I was looking at one of the spots i was out on last year on my GPS, well when my bro and i were out bass fishing, we were looking at it, and righ tnow if the ice comes out, it would be in 4 FOW, verses 9 FOW from last year.

Its going to be awesome.
