[glenn57]

this works for me. would we meet/go on the lake on the swimming beach right off highway 10. i know a coworker that said the are driving all over the lake.

[glenn57]

do i need to bring a trailer or just a red flag to hang on the tail of my fish so it can hang out the back of my truck? hehehe

[bassNspear]

Little Long Lake

Northern pike were sampled at below average rates, but with weights that were well above average for a lake like Little Long Lake. They ranged in length from 13.0-29.50 inches, with 64% over 20.0 inches.

That works for me, what time on the 3rd?

Looks like there is a public access on Game Farm Road?

Is that right?

Lake to be determind

Feb 3rd 8:00 am Landing

If anyone as any questions, please let me know. Send me a email at [email protected]

[glenn57]

just a question, why such a little lake that appears to have some difficulty finding verses an easy one like big lake on hwy 10? curios minds want to know.

[bassNspear]

i really dont care where we go.

[bassNspear]

lets make a decision fast so people can plan to get there and get everything figured out.

I dont care where we go, i just want to get it planned so everyone else can plan

[merkman]

Make the decision and stick with it Bass N Spear.

No mater what day you choose someone will say it is wrong.

No mater what lake you choose someone will say it is wrong.

The biggest thing is to pick a date and pick a lake and make it happen. Next year you can improve on it if it is needed.

Either place works for me. My brother carves decoys and will be down from Baudette that weekend and he would like to make it too.

As far as the lake goes, it may be easier on little long lake to find everyone on the lake, but it is easier to get to Big Lake.

In my honest opinion it is 6 of one and a half dozen of the other.

Just make it happen though. Even if only 2 or 3 people show up for the first one it is more than will show up by not picking a date and lake.

[bassNspear]

I am going to go and check out some lakes on monday, and ill make the desicion monday night.

[glenn57]

i do like the little lake easier to find theory. pick the lake and i will find it if i can make it. right now i relly want to do this. little long/ big lake not much furtheer drive either way to meet other spearing nuts. prefer the lake description of little long and mapquest should get me there.

[Jameson]

Would Fremont Lake be a good choice for ya'll? Centrally located, full of pike, shallow, and on the liberalized fishing list.

[bassNspear]

where is that located. i check on google and i got a lake that is one the west side of the state

It don't look like it is too clear from the DNR data.

But it has the same reading as a lake I spear on up here and I can see 13ft to the bottom in the winter. (not clear but I can see)

That lake is 11ft in its deepest spot.

So there may not be a problem seeing?

I may check it out this weekend if I get a chance.

[bassNspear]

thats kind of a hall for me. But i dont care. Lets figure it out.

Feb 3rd is the date, just have to figure out the lake

[Gordie]

Freamont wouldnt be bad but by the time Feb 3rd rolls around all the fish in that lake will be dead its freezin out fast. I was just over there thursday and there must be a 1000 dead carp and twice as many bullheads on the ice from guys netting it for liberal fishing and thursday afternoon a couple of guys left the lake with around fifty northerns and a bunch of carppies.

Little Elk lake is not a bad lake for spearing but there again it may not be centrally located for everyone.

Feb 3rd 8:30-4

Big Lake

We will meet at the lake by 7:30

If anyone has any questions about it, please let me know. I will be there around 7 am.

[Central Bassman]
