2007-2008 Spearing Trips


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any trips planned yet for the up coming spearing season??? Bass N Spear and I will be taking a trip right after X-mass to the Cass Lake area. Hopefully by then we will have the camera’s working so we can do some recording of the fish we see!!!

Where is everyone else thinking of heading?

that is correct bro. we will be up by cass lake.

As you might already know, cass lake is part of the lakes that you cant spear on becuase of the muskies. There as some awesome lake sure around the area by cass that produce some awesome sights.

As my bro can back me up on this, crystal clear water, seeing down 15 feet, watching it like i was and underwater world, who needs to throw the spear.

its a great trip and i look forward to it every year.

I think a trip that everybody should make once in there life is a trip to Lake of the Wodds. Yes there is slot that you can not take one 30-40'', but if you go there the first three weeks you will see one over 40. You will get a couple nice eaters in the 26-28 range. Than just wait for grandpa leroy. It is not to surprising to see 40-50 fish in a day, they run like crazy. One year 4 of us got fish over 40, my biggest is a 43-19lbs

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
