Walker\Longville Area


spear foot 1

Recommended Posts

I was just wondering if anybody on this awesome spearing site has any good spearing Ideas for the walker\longville area.I have access to a cabin up there and was looking for spearing spot. One lake on the map that looked good was ox yoke lake. But I'm not familiar with the area so any help would be grateful. Thanks

I was also thinking the same question. But its more for my now retired father who has a lake home on Leech. Can you spear on Leech or not. Any input would be great. No worries about us setting up on your spots or anything because IF we do go spearing it may only be one or two times this year in a portable.

thanks,

mr

If you want some good action Ox Yoke and Webb can be pretty good. There are some monsters in Mule and Blackwater. The old baitshop by Mule used to have pictures of some giants that were taken on that lake. A couple muskies were taken too (angling). Not much for numbers but definitely some nice sizes.

You can't go wrong with many lakes up that way. They either have numbers or size on pike. It's just a really great place as far as the resource goes...clear and productive waters. Like no other in the state. You can find good walleye, bass, pike, or panfish lakes anywhere in that area.

Mule and Blackwater get the occasional muskie. It's believed to be transplants, cause they weren't stocked there. Blackwater has some Ciscos in it and both lakes have very abundant game fish populations, so I'm sure they could do well. There are lots of lakes around Longville that have historically had musky.

Spearing is open on both lakes. There is excellent clarity and some really good vegetation. If you're out for size and do decide to try Mule or Blackwater, on Mule I'd try the north end narrows or one of the steep transitions on the east or west shorelines. On Blackwater, there are some good reed patches to set up next to a 67 foot drop off. It is a STEEP dropoff. I would try there if I was a betting man.

Has anyone tried Pine lake? It is located about 2 miles south of Leech near Whipolt on Hwy 200. I've fish that lake every summer. It's very clear, good weeds and lots of pike. Wondering if anyone has tried it?

Tried spearing in Walker Bay this past weekend but the water was quite cloudy, although I still managed two fish. Did I just hit a bad spot or does walker bay get like that? Anyone have any suggestions on other areas of leech to try spearing?

Thanks

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
