November 3, 2007 - Green Lake Carp Fest

[Pinggene]

Only two - Oh well. I was hoping to have someone tag along with me & just keep handing me a loaded speargun! I got to catch up to Scott in the contest! rofl

Oh well, I guess I'll have to do it the old fashon way...like bending his spear or cutting his line...Oh wait, he has too many...I bet Scott would just keep pulling out another "spare".

We'll see you Saturday Scott. You can only go in water that is 50' or deeper, I'll take the rest!

Tomorrow looks like Great weather! Sunny, clam breeze. Carp Blood will spill! :martial Don't worry Gene, I'll take a few breaks from spearing and shoot some video. Maybe between the Stringers I empty :t I'll probably stop at 20 carp. We'll See.

Oh! I heard there could be Punch and Pie! rofl

It's going to be a Great Day to Go spearing. ILDiver CALL IN SICK! :yack

I had a post from lake-link, a guy said the water was crystal clear two days ago. He aslo said that he saw schools of carp in 20' of water...smaller ones on top, & larger ones down deeper. He did not say exactly where he was :vangry

I hope the wind today didn't screw things up. I think we should try the western bay & then possibly Norwegian bay. There is also a hump that goes from 40 to 20' with some fish cribs at about 25'...might be cool to check out.

Norwegian bay has some quick drop offs (down to 150')...not that we would go that deep, but it might allow the water to be a bit clearer.

I can't wait. I'm to my dads in the AM to take his pier out (7-9), then on to Green Lake. Will meet you by the boat launch off K @ 10 AM. I'm bringing a couple of garbage cans we can put in your boat...after I fill them both up, I guess you will just have to put yours on the floor rofl. See ya tomorrow...wish there were more coming, but Oh Well.

Scott, are you available to spear Sunday?

 

[Whopperhead]

I have to go into work early on Sunday :head, But Tass and I are thinking about checking out the OUTLET on Thursday if anyone else is interested. If the Outlet isn't on - then we'll swing over to Lake Mendota.

Was there Punch? Was there pie?

It was a chilly day, 2 brave souls arrived to Destroy the CARP of Green Lake. Not sure of the water Temp - but if I had to guess I'd say COLD! Viz wasn't too bad - 20' looking away from the sun and 10' looking towards the sun. LOTS of carp around. We ended up going to Norwegian Bay- Where we found LOTS of fish, LOTS of Pike, and millions of little panfish. Found this school of 1000 - PERCH! it was really cool! Anyways, heres some pics. I ended up shooting 14 fish - 2 got off the stringer- so my count is 12. 11 carp and 1 sucker.

 

[Whopperhead]

I don't know about Punch, but there was Pie! and vitamin Water.

 

[Pinggene]

Well, Scott sure out did me...I ended up missing 6 with none on the stringer :head

Oh well, it sure was fun. I swam through a school (cloud) of fry that had to number in the millions...crazy.

Big bass, northern, perch & carp...was cool.

I just got back from a 2 day stay in the hospital...after gettin home, started to have chest pains...seems that some new antibiotic I was on did not want you to be physically active...would have been nice to know!

Oh well, all is good. no damage done. Scott, great shooting. Good to be with you again.

Whoaaaaa! AND TURN DOWN YOUR VOLUME!!!!! Nice vid Scott...As always! I really like the "hole in the head" carp!
You murderer!!!:martialThats so cool!

Nice Vid, Wish I was there Next time. I've got a local lake to shoot carp in! The vis is not the best though, maybe 4'. After it ices and then melts it might be better. There is no wind break. The lady was told that it's because it's over run with carp that it is so murky. If I could find a place to get some clams and get some of the carp out to clear up the water I'd be happy. Then go back in and take more. DNR esimate over 1000 carp in this pond. It's 300 yards long 30 yards wide and 30' deep. Spring fed. I got permission for me and one other. Plus her son dives (scuba) and would spear if I had a spare gun.
