[BehindtheHead]

can a minnesota resident spear in north dakota?

[merkman]

can a minnesota resident spear in north dakota?

Not untill MN allows ND residents to spear in MN.

Once MN does that we can spear ND the day that law becomes effective.

[fish-n-fool]

[merkman]

does anybody know what states a MN resident can spear in?

MN

WI - sturgeon

MI

MT

and as soon as we let ND spear here.... ND

I know of those for sure.

I am not too familar with the other states rules?

Do they spear in NY, NH, VT, ME? I am not sure

[merkman]

Ohh.. I almost forgot Alaska won't mind either since they view pike as an invasive species.

[GoneFish'n71]

There a couple of lakes in SD.

[bassNspear]

should we have a get together in Alaska!

LOL deitz would be dancing all the way up there!

[Gordie]

BNS the only problem with Alaska is I probally wont come back.

[Fish Toys]

When are we leaving?

Heuy I at one time counted over 50 shacks on that lake you were onand at one time early in the season there were over 70 shacks. I have heard of good reports on it. I have never seen that many spear shacks on one lake ever except for LOW. the lake is going to be brought back to a waterfowl production area in the future and its to bad because it will destroy an awsome fishery in the area. the dnr has all ready started transplanting pike to other lakes. I'm a waterfowler at heart but dont think this should be done.
