Dealing with milfoil

[woodslizard]

Anyone spear in lakes with heavy milfoil?? The lake I spear is really infested and it seems like when the lake ices over and the milfoil starts to die it really murks up the water. Put shack out Saturday and have yet to see a pike even though the kids were catching smaller ones on tipups around the shack. Visibily is a bout 8 feet but there are orange - yellow clouds floating around (from the milfoil dying??).  The last couple of years have been like this early ice and the spearing seems to get a lot better as the water clears. The fish are active as I have been catching crappies in the spear shack. Anyone else have this type of experince in lakes with heavy milfoil??

None here waiting to go spearing. Kinda hard to spear from a boat.

If you have current in this lake I would try to put the shanty some where else it

It is an issue that I don't really mind, the fishing will pick up when the water clears up. The worst part is that I have 2 spots marked in my gps that were really hot spots and now I can't spear them because the milfoil is to thick in those spots.

It has made fishing harder year around in some of the lakes I fish. Should find and tar and feather the person who first dumped it in our waters.
