you guys have to be freezing up there. GreenBay is supposed to be one of the coldest places in WI. It's 9 degrees here in Ohio.

It was minus 5 when we got out on the ice this morning, but the ice houses all have a pretty good heater in them.  Two years ago it was -22 with 20 MPH winds while we were spearing and we wore coats inside the ice house.  Today, I sat there in my IU fleece jacket.

Day two of Sturgeon Spearing is in the books, and so far with the exception of the friends, and the Bloody Mary's it has been an abysmal season.  

Using cameras we have been able to see plenty of sign the sturgeon had been in the area.  (they make a big hole in the mud when they eat. )  Plenty of the fly larvae they feast on in the mud.  Just no sturgeon.  In fact after 12 hours on the ice, we have seen exactly  3 minnows, 2 shad, 1 northern drum.  It seems like we set up on the Saraha of the lake.  Hardly any life has been visible.  

Oh well, most people aren't having any luck either.  It is looking like the season will go a full three weekends.  So I will get one more chance.

Had to dig this one up. Anyone have much luck this year? With my baseball coachin schedule, I haven't been able to go at all this year.

However, that's all about to change in a big way. Week long vacation at Table Rock Lake last week this month, and then my new subdivision (home closing July 1st) has a really nice small lake that's supposed to be very good fishing. Will mostly be doing bass and catfishing because of the season, but will still be a blast!

Fished about 3 miles out today. Fluke, seabass, skates, sea robins, and Porgies were hitting. Came back with 3 in the box though. 1 fluke and 2 Porgies. Here's a sea bass that by my calcs was a keeper and two of the Porgies. Had high hook today with 10-15, including the garbage fish.

My father in law knew but I had never heard of it. I saw the silver side as it neared the top of the water and thought it was a baby fluke. I then saw the colors along its top and had no idea what to think. I had to google it when I got home. I believe scupp or skupp is it's proper name.
