It is brutally cold outside, but area sturgeon spearers are loving the weather. It means ice is being made on Lake Winnebago and hopefully there will be enough for trucks by the weekend. At last check, it seemed there likely would be enough to safely take vehicles out on the ice. Thank you Mother Nature for the good timing.
Speaking of sturgeon spearing, I will be going out myself on Saturday. While I've hunted and fished my whole life, I've never tried my hand at spearing and I'm really looking forward to it. Lonny Ziemer, a captain at Rod Bender Guide Service, will be helping me out with the basics. I'll be writing a column about my experiences that will appear in The Reporter. Watch for it.
Here are a few photos from my last ice fishing expedition:
The lake was ours...
We caught a lot of these "monsters"
