here's the address of where we will meet at THE OUTLET-

812 Jenifer st. Madison, WI (there is a PARK as the meeting point)

Thanks for the update on Mendota- sounds like it will be a good place for a back up if the OUTLET is not on.

I was in Mendota for 2 hours on Sunday and walked away with a half dozen crappie. I would have stayed in longer, but my trigger finger was so cold I couldn't even feel it by the end and was forced to get out. :(

Water was cold (42F) and vis was 10' close to shore and got up to 20' if you got out, and down, a ways. Spearing was a lot tougher than last week- as the fish were all pretty skittish and buried deep in the weeds.


The only things I saw out in the deeper, clear, water was carp and bass.

Well...My First Aid/CPR class got pushed back a week. So if Sat is good and anyone is up for Sunday I can prolly do both days. Or if the forecast calls for better wx one day over the other...

I'm ready to get in the water! Jon, your not very encouraging with the 42 degree water and 2 hour dive time! :)
 
Have fun you guys...post some photos. I'll be chasing deer (& hopefully getting) that weekend.

Scott will get skunked. He is like a waterbuffalo in the water. We will be lucky to get any fish with him dog paddling around! :)
 
Yeah! Keep talk'n. The End results will tell who the better spearfisherman is- And that's using a camera in one hand! Lets see how many rough fish do I have? hmmm. I want to know what I win - when I win the rough fish contest? Just the Title is fine with me "Spearfishing Champion" or "Carp Master" or "Spearfishing Champion Carp Master" I'll probably need an agent for all the Sponsors that will be flying my way! LOL - I'm just kidding! :D
 
:crutchhey scott its okay that you are slow in the water chris can show us how it is done right but if you are to scared of the deeperblue its okay we will swim down and get those fish for you okay
 
:kooh yeah duh what was i thinking i cant wait till the 8th i am ready to get my new suit put into action
 
I have few back up Ideas if the OUTLET isn't on- See what you all think:

1 Check out Lake Mendota (if it's not frozen)
2 Go dive Lake Mich
3 Snowball fight in the parking lot.

also, if anyone needs a place to crash for the night- I have extra room. Especially if we do a 2-dayer.

Just some ideas.
 
lake mich that what i think but nobody ever listens to me so all well all i can say you better ask scott hes the boss (i guess) but i still think lake mich
 
well i guess scott and myself are going to the outlet tomorrow so we should be able to see what it is like well let you know hope its good
 
I miss the water, but the cold and even worse the cold WIND is making it hard for me to get all excited for this outing :) I'll be shooting some fish, don't get me wrong!
 
DOtey and Myself made a trip to the outlet today- It was turned on! But it was hard to tell the viz from the "Outlook" - So, I jumped in and vis by the shore was pretty bad- they were out "Dredging" I think is what it was called- So, I decided we would go check out Lake Mendota- The Temp by the shore of the OUTLET was 41 degrees- the temp by the shore of Mendota was 29 degrees! The vis by the shore of Mendota wasn't that good- till we got in about 10' of water- Then the viz was about 20' - I Saw Lots of BASS! LOTS! a Few Pike (northern). I did see a HUGE Bluegill but decided to let him live. I also saw a Large Crappie with this HUGE white Bump on it's side- looked kinda gross. dotey was glad to get in the water- it was a good time- even though We didn't shoot any fish- I will post some pictures later. My fingers and toes were really cold- I know the OUTLET will be warmer.
 
rofl:headyeah it was cold to my hands i also had a sinking float line and fins that wanted to fall off so i was having a few problems but i will get it all figued out so hope to see ya all there on the 8th and be ready to have some fun i know i did today i didnt get to shoot anything but i am sure whopperhead got some picks of me so i know i look sexy in my new suit but he wanted my pic all in all it was a cold cold blast
 
29 degree....*cough* Um, I'm feeling a little *cough* stuffed up *cough*
