spearchucker Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 The Southern Lakes Chapter of the MN Darkhouse Assoc. had a member fishing contest with angling and spearing categories last weekend. Fish any lake you want, but be back by 5:00 for a weigh in. They do it every year. Banquet is this weekend in Waseca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samtroy Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 did a search for it. Found a couple of things about it one was in a obituarie about Francis Mahowald says He was the founder of the “Spear Fest” on Spring Lake which will celebrate the 10th anniversary this February. But could not find any dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
