Great scores and hits guys!

Great picts guys, congrats on all the speared fish. ;D

Here in SK. it's illegal to spear fish like you guys are doing, only underwater spear fishing allowed. :-\
It does look fun and challenging way to fish. @)

Do you guys actually throw the spears or do you more or less place it above the fish and drop it?

I guess it would depend on water clarity, but what's the deepest water you guys spear fish in?
What is a normal spearing depth for you? ???

Looking for that BIG BITE!

For me 10 to 12 feet of water is ideal, but if it is a really clear lake 20 FoW + is not out of the question, you just need to get the pike to come up off the bottom.  We use egg shells to help see bottom, heard of people using cut potatoes as well.  Pike are so fast, you have to throw the spear...Check out the Dark House Spearing videos on youtube if you want some entertainment...

First fish on ice 2013. Lost a nice 30" or so a few days earlier. Great shot behind head. I had her on top of the ice in the corner of the shanty. Went to open the door, she thrashed around and I only had one hand on the spear. Flipped into the water, thrashed some more and then broke lose :'( Hopefully she made it.

To bad you lost the pike, if you had bigger barbs that wouldn't happen, lol!
Nice job on the dog!

Yeah. If I would have just held him in place on the ice for a bit and let him calm down :-\  I will be making some modifications to one of the spears I have.

Heck yeah! I was out tonight on one of my favored lakes and had two hammer handles come in at sunset. Things were slow and I noticed they came in while the decoy was stationary. Realizing they weren't fish I would bring home, I tried giving the decoy a swim and in a flash both occasions they were gone! It may have been if I was working the decoys aggressively I may not have seen any at all. :o Lessons learned @)

First Harvest 2013
« Reply #226 on: Dec 24, 2013, 10:40 AM »
Came in within 15 minutes after setting up. 35" on one of Jason's red and white decoys. Passed through on a corner, then came in directly below me, nose to the decoy. Great hit, directly behind the head.

Also had a hammer handle come into the Bluegill decoy Jason made. I got some great video of him but it's too long to send via video message. Will have to upload directly to laptop soon.

You know, I wanted to! I really did! But I was alone and had to set up my phone and stabilize it for a timed photo. I would of had to drag the decoy out and pole from the shanty. Next time I will! Here is the first picture I took, fresh out of the water
