What's the shallowest water you'll spear in?

[swampbuckster]

I have successfully speared fish in two feet of water. Does any anybody go this shallow? I have another area that is about a foot and a half deep that was successful with tip ups last year.  Thinking about setting up over it tomorrow morning.  Just curious if the fish get spooked sitting over them that shallow?

I always like to think of bow hunting when I spear so it's kinda like if you put your stand 7' off the ground, even though they can't see you they could still spot the spear as you slowly lower it. I wouldn't spear in less than 3' but if your successful dont be listening to the yuppys on here

One thing I should mention is the lake has ultra low visibility. Around 3 feet max. I can spot pike deeper, they almost seem to glo yellow, but bottom is a different story. That may be my advantage in the 2 foot area I spear out of.

Years ago I speared on Lake Of The Woods a lot. Visibility was bad a few years. 3 feet was about it and I would set up in about 2.5 feet of water. One thing I will say is the pucker string gets pretty tight when a 40" slides in at that range.

Same thing on Muscamoot bay. At times the bigguns are stacked in 12-24 inches of water inhaling food.
