Alford Bailey Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I am majorly bummed. I just found out the ice is even worse where we are going than it is at home. :( we won't be able to hit our usual spots. Maybe we are sissies, but when you are in an area with no phones, and no chance for help, it doesn't make any sense to get out on the ice, if you are not 100% sure the ice is safe. Smart. I'm a little leary even when its pretty good 5-6 inches. Just saw some old video of people walking across the Ohio river in 1978. Crazy! ALASKA HOOSIER and jmsgws 2 Quote

Friggin' snowmachiners were buzzing around my shanti and pissing me off. scared all of the fish away too! It was too cold for me to go out and yell at them.

Alford Bailey Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 If you really want to try a winter fishing treat. Head to Oshkosh, Wisconsin the 2nd weekend in February. That is the weekend sturgeon spearing starts. I mean what sport starts with Bloody Mary's or your favorite drink before sunrise? There have been many years we couldn't get off the ice until sunset because we had to sober up. (The season ends at noon.) Wow! Alcohol, sharp spears and walking on ice. Sounds like fun. jmsgws 1 Quote

TrueHoosier62 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Nice haul. I prefer walleye to pike as far as eating goes but I bet they are soooo much better to eat through the ice. I learned many, many years ago to filet the "Y" bones out of pike. Once you have that down pat, they eat and taste just like Walleye. A buddy of mind told me to cube up some of the nicer sized pike, then boil it, ice it, skewer it, and dip it in hot garlic butter. Tastes remarkably like lobster jmsgws, ALASKA HOOSIER, Alford Bailey and 1 other 4 Quote
jmsgws Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Spent the morning cutting in our holes for sturgeon spearing Saturday morning! Bought 5 gallons worth of Bloody Mary supplies. Got the spears sharpened. I'm all ready! [attachment=3380:IMG_20160211_084001.jpg] IUsafety, JaybobHoosier, ALASKA HOOSIER and 1 other 4 Quote
upperarlington Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 5 gallons? wow that should keep you guys warm. Is that northern WI area? JaybobHoosier, Naturalhoosier and jmsgws 3 Quote
jmsgws Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 5 gallons? wow that should keep you guys warm. Is that northern WI area? Well the 5 gallons will technically last us two days. We go really heavy on Saturday, and then cut way back on Sunday. :) Oshkosh is in East Central Wisconsin. About 60 miles south of Green Bay. Naturalhoosier, JaybobHoosier and HoosierAloha 3 Quote
jmsgws Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 If it were not for the alcohol I could not do this sport. This has been my view for the last 2 hours. And I have 4 more to go. [emoji3] Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
