HSO 4th Annual Spearing Get Together Feb 8th!!! (Final Report)

[samtroy]

Less than 6" of snow on most of the lake. There is some drifts but you should have no problem with a truck. The snow may get a little soft with the warmer temps this weekend. But i think if you watched where you went you could drive a car on most of the lake. Sat for 2 hours today and saw 2 northerns the only problem was the second one was after i put the spear in the truck to leave. Can back in to check i had everything and there sat a 10lb.+ northern. came back with the spear and never seen it again.

[samtroy]

hey bns tryed to email you this morning not sure if it work you can reach me at ([email protected])

[bassNspear]

sent!

[BigRoy]

I am planning on coming with my son, should be a good time. He is 9 and is excited to spear his first pike. Is the merckman cooking? I could bring a batch of homemade baked beans but people who eat them would have to sign a waiver warning them of the inherent dangers associated with methane gas and portable heaters. They would also have to promise to share said methane with their significant other via the pulling of the blankets over significant others head.

[Bigslugger]

Good one Roy!

Are we meeting at any particular spot on the lake at 730 or just do our own thing???

[YourBobersDown]

I am thinking of heading out there I will check in later this week. I have always wanted to see how a well a quick fish 6 works as a spear house!

[bassNspear]

Ya were going to have a great time out there. There is going to be alot of people hanging out.

Im bring the grill to cook some dogs!

[pdk511]

haha any pike that comes through our set up is a gonner

[Laska]

so ive never been to this lake, soooooo anyone have some pointers on where to go?

BnS, what should I bring besides my spearing gear?

[bassNspear]

BnS, what should I bring besides my spearing gear?

Whatever you perfer. Ill get the hotdogs and buns.

[samtroy]

Laska, Here is a few pointers and by no means am i a expert on this lake. The weed edge ends real fast like in less the 3'. You will have weeds right up to the bottom of the ice and 2' later you will be in 15' of water. The best way i have found to find the edge is to fire the auger up and start drilling holes about 5' apart and check the depth with the vexlair once you find the drop off drill holes in between about a foot apart to find the weed edge. On the east and west side of the lake it drops off real fast. So start you drilling about 15'-20' from shore, You may already be out side the weed edge on some parts of the lake. Some of the places you will feel like your sitting on shore when your set up but you will be in 12. On north and south side the weed edge is out fruther so you came start checking fruther out. The fish i have been seeing this week are coming from the reel thick weeds. If anyone needs a power auger or a vexlair to use stop by( green house white roof south side) you are more then welcome to use them. Hope this helps you out a little.

[Laska]

lol, it would be a big help, All I have is a hand auger, thats all Ive had this year, I think Ill take ya up on that offer if thats ok. Thank god I got a underwater camera tho....

[Gordie]

So BNS whats the estimated count on people showing up so far?

this should be awsome. nice weather,great lake, now if the pike cooperate we'll be in business.

[bassNspear]

Im really not sure. I think we could ahve upwards of 20 people there, just depends on who is all going to be able to make it. I have not recieved alot of emails!

[glenn57]

i still plan on coming. i will bring some dogs and buns and homemade horseradish. for those that fished this lake before, do you hang around the acess or what. i have and will bring an aguaview and a depth finder that shoots thru the ice wiyh a bit of water on the ice.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

I plan on being there along with fishindad who thinks his portable would work to spear from, may need to rent a spear and some gear, except for the decoy I won last time.

[Laska]

Ill bring some pickled northern that I made, half gallon jar's worth. N crackers, cant beat spearing for nords while eatin the nords all at the same time.

[bassNspear]

Glenn,

I will most like be on the south end of the lake. What time you going to be there.

I will bring the grill if your going to bring dogs and buns.

its going to be a awesome daye on the lake with the weather and all!

[glenn57]

i plan on being there by daybreak-7;30ish. if i am not mistaken the acess is on the north side, so we will drive clear across the lake? how mant dogs and buns do you think i need? the will be either bear or venny. i think i figured out how to get there also. i dont have the directions with me at tthe moment but i think i am taking hwy 12 down, then look for game farm road, go south and i should run into the acess.

[merkman]

Sorry but it don’t look like I can make it to the second get to gator this year.

My family needs me for some issues that have come up.

Looks like I have to hang the spear up for this season.

[bassNspear]

ya, you will be able to find it.

Bring as many dogs as you can. Ill have the charcol grill along with me. I think we will have around 15 ppl or so. Seems like there is always a few that come without reply.

Ill be there at 730!

[glenn57]

got it. i should be there by then also. do you have a cell number? could you give it to me just in case i cant come for some reason, the only reason i wont be there will be if something unexpected happens, and i wouldnt want people to go hungry. my work e-mial is [email protected]. thanks. really lookin forward to a new lake.

[glenn57]

bummer, sorry to hear that. hope its not serious. hope it works out for ya.
