D I remember my first time too.  

For those of you that do fish, here are a couple from the weekend that Rezeyes and I hooked up.  Sorry spilled a little coffee on them.  Gonna take the ole man out this weekend and try a little spearing.  Carved and weighted up a decoy last night.  Time for a little paint this evening.  I'm not really sure which day were are headed out but the Mooter Posse is roll

Careful with that stuff pioneer MT. That will make you steal stuff you already own.   :roflmao: :roflmao: We miss you too.  I just bought another house and were closing at the end of January so the funds are getting a little tight.  I would love to head up there at least once this season. i'll have to keep you posted and schedule something. Dad and I are getting into spearing pike thanks to Rezeye's influence.  He bought a really nice Spear on eBay last night

 





and I hooked up with one a couple weeks ago (thanks Brandon). This spearing sport looks like a blast and a more interactive way for my kids to see fish in their environment. Give me a holler next time you in town.

5-15 feet. You got to get pretty good to drop a spear at 15 ft. deep. My buddy tried at 17 1/2 feet in clear water one day. He had a toad come through, but missed. all depends on water clarity and what kind of structure you like to spear. I might not be the one to ask, I've only been like a dozen times. It's one more aspect of ice fishing to obsess about.

Hit TRR today it was slow!  Didn't hear of many people doing any better.  Heard of one 30 inch walleye being caught but that was about it.

I tried TRR for a while until the wind and blowing snow made me decide to go watch football.  Caught some perch.  Quite a few people out, including some brave people driving around with their trucks on the ice.  Made me feel alot better about riding my ATV!

Let's see these decoy's Moot!! I know Rezeye has had his hand at building a few.
How is the spearing in Tounge? Decent water clarity?

Fishjunkie-

Usually fish minnows on tipups and tiny minnows or maggots  on your jig pole for crappie and perch. I haven't fished it in a few years but rattlesnake point was always good to me.

Any reports of the minnow/bait vending machine at the marina?  How much do the minnows cost and how big are they?  Are they live minnows?  Are there maggots or waxies?  Any info is appreciated.

mealworms & crawlers?

I believe there are meal worms and nightcrawlers, but no waxworms--at least that's what I think I saw while peering through the glass with my aged eyes.  :wacko:

I saw meal worms and crawlers in the machine.  We got a container full of minnows and they were very lively to my surprise.  They actually gave us 16 or so instead of a dozen which was nice.  They are just your average fatheads as far as size goes.  Its certainly better than no minnows at all!

OK- you guys are saying there is a vending machine at TRR that dispenses live minnows? Are you messing with us? I've seen one up here in Helena for worms, but minnows?

No Joke!  I thought it sounded a little goofy too!  But it works.
