Hey guys, just checking in. Picked up a new to me pike spear, decoy and ice saw to see if I can spear me a northern. The shack I got is a 6 man thunderbay from Amazon. This thing is huge! Anyway gonna give it a go here in a week or two. Never done it before but always wanted to. I'm hoping to upgrade my decoy next year if I really like it, I suspect I will.

What does that decoy look like? Pretty much anything smaller than a pike? 😁
Yep.

It's sort of terrifying that whatever is 8" long and idle is basically dinner in the local water bodies. Top of most food chains looks pretty good from here 🙂
Yep.

Those are some dang nice pics!
Oh, I did manage to stick a northern with a spear. Holy buckets is that fun and addicting. I'm going full bore into spearing here, it's awesome! Found out I need more decoys so I'm gonna try to make some this next year. I think I'm gonna pick up another spear or two as well. I need to get an auger, gonna get one of them electric drill setups I think. I can't post pics but I sent them to a few guys here

Cool Ryan !
We've been running a dewalt, brushless, 20 volt drill & an eskimo 8" plastic/aluminum auger, which weighs about 3lbs.
Love it, too !

Ryan, I grew up spearing in the winter. My cousin and I started so young that our Dad's had to tie us to the wall inside the spear house so we wouldn't fall in. I haven't speared a lot in the last few years but last Friday, I spent the day in a buddies shack and some other buds came out and we took turns. The pike were cooperating well that day. Will make some fine pickled fish!
