northern winos, love your log cabin, but the surroundings look brrrrrrr! Two months?! WOW! Make sure you stock up on that wine for those chilly nights, evenings, days. Well, have plenty of wine!

 

[NorthernWinos]

We only go out there during the days, need daylight to see the fish go through the hole so we can spear them....very fun past time...and get to eat some good fish too.

 

[Wade E]

I dont see anything. Oh wait a minute, I guess I have to open my eyes!

 

[jsmahoney]

Is this a hand spear? Or something mechanical? I guess I never heard of spearing them. Oh! I've heard of spearing fish, but my thought was a fishing pole in the hole. That sounds challenging! How large is the hole?

 

[jsmahoney]

I was getting worried there wadewade. But with those K-9 eyes I'm sure you couldn't have missed it.

Our hole is about 3 X 4.6 feet...Yes...big enough to fall throuh...but you have to be careful....and sober.

In the photo you can see the ice chunks that came out of the hole....[beside the lawn chair]...the hight of the ice chunk is how thick th ice was...about 27 inches at that time...

You spear with a hand held spear, try to nail them behind the head...It is changing and a real rush when a big one comes in to look at your decoy....It makes your heart race for sure.

Minnesota might be one of th only states where non-native people can spear fish, but only through the ice in a dark house.

Here is a photo of looking down the spearing hole in the ice....with a small fish looking at the decoy....

Catch of the day ..last year...12.6# and 19#

Catch of the day...early this year...17#

These were our biggest fish...they are Northern Pike...the only fish we are allowed to take with a spear...

Now I am anxious for the lakes to freeze.....got very cold last night....kind of rude after the 60* weather we had been enjoying...but this is Minnesota and this is more like what we should expect this time of the year...Bright and sunny, but cold...maybe snow next week...Edited by: Northern Winos

Those are some big fish!

[kutya]

Northern, those are some nice looking pike there. I've always heard they grow big in MN???? Ramona, what a lovely picture of you and your daughter. I agree with wade.....

I found this a month or so ago. It was an interesting place on Beavers Bend reservoir. I was on an adventure on my Goldwing when I found this. Had to stop and sample the grapes.

 

[Wade E]

The grapes huh!

 

[Waldo]

Which one is Ramona?

 

[bmorosco]

Ramona,


You have a beautful Family....Nice weather too!!

 

[redwineleo]

Doesn't look like any wine at the Thanksgiving table. Must have been before the meal?
