well as far as looking for a good spot to fish, i would go out in the fall with your depthfinder and look for and spots in the bay where a bar comes out or a dropoff and also watch the water looking at the weed structure. a point is a good spot to look for fish as they come from deep water around the points to come in shallow and feed then back out. to get rid of weeds, drop your decoy down close to the bottom and use it as a mower to cut the weeds off! Hope this helps!
Great videos!!!
Gotta love the spear-vision
Great fish spearing, Guys, well done :-))
Great fishing , I'd love to do that too, seems like fantastic fishing fun :-))
thanks! yeah i plan to, i moved up to where i spear now so ill be out with the camera as often as possible!
SWEET! Nice job fellas!
cool vids man....i live over here in LCO..........cant wait for this winter yo.....keep on keepin on...
i cant believe all that noise doesnt scare em away
@mistacleve Thanks again for the advice, i greatly appreciate this especially from an experienced spearer. I think, since we always pike fish in the summer i kind of have an idea of where to go. We do have a point in the 250 acre lake that has been know to produce some quality fish. I actually caught my first northern over 5 lbs off that point. I will try all of your tips in the future, Good luck fishing
I love the laugh at 1:19.
the great white north of minnesota on da iron range
Nice fish! There is nothing more exciting than a big one sliding into the hole. I need to see a video of one the big gators coming in. Can you fill us in as to which lake your on?
The live fish is a sucker minnow used as a decoy just like the fake ones. There are many people who spear that just use live decoys, my dad is one of them, and there are others that use nothing but fake ones like your dad. The sucker minnow is attached by a harness there isn't a hook, but it would be legal to use a hook instead of a harness here in Minnesota. However It would be illegal to spear a fish that was hooked.
u guys should post some more spearing videos they are awsome.
most lakes you cant, the dnr reg book has lists of lakes where spearing is prohibited due to muskies
my lake up at my cabin is FILLED with 5-6lb northerns and is about 12- 13ft deep all around the shore for about 50 yards. But the thing of it is is that it is also real weedy, i mean the weeds are about 3 feet under the surface. My dad and i just bought a spear house and we were wondering if this problem is solveable. Any help please, it would be very appreciated. Thanks
if you dont make sound you will see more fish i have done this this last year and i got more pike then in years past. try it and see for yourself.
You got any tips/insider stuff for a guy that wants to start this exciting sport of darkhouse spearing.
@mistacleve But on leech lake you can spear! last weekend i saw 4 muskies that were over 40 inches.
pretty good sized like the really big fish have fillets wider then my knife! but a good 5 pounder is a meal for 4 to 6 people
Nice action!! I'm so jealous of the luck your having and that crystal clear water. The lakes that I spear are dirty this year. Do you plan on putting more videos up this year?
Dude your sister is cute...
oh i know! haha i dont see people using rods in the winter tryin to catch pike. they put out tip-ups and play cards and drink beer. now THATS skill-less.
hey i fucked up this last week- saw 2 fish 6 days apart that were 23 pounds plus, didnt have a chance at the first and missed the second while he was out of the hole. but my grandpa got a 24 yesterday.
What's up with the live fish in the hole? Is it to catch one on a hook? (Is it legal??) thanks.
I used to spear a little in the old days and Pop only used decoys.
the hite and black decoy with the silver fins dose anyone know where i can get one
Curious, knowing that Northern are a particularly bony fish, is there a way to filet them out where they aren't so bony?
Great hits on those fish!! Could you use a bow hooked up with a fishing rig instead of a gig?? That would be some great video!
we dont kill whatever we see, we pick and choose the ones that are eater size
should be close to 7 pounds i would guess, i think the dnr has conversion charts on their website!
@LaskasDecoys
just because some one doesnt think that its bad to spear fish doesnt me that they should go and yell at every one because they are fishing i agree that people should just keep to them selvs if they dont like something instead of being a gerk . u have to wait fore hours but that is just part of the fun :)
Where do you buy spearing decoys I have been looking but no luck?
tytus meister bass pro shop, gander mountain, cabelas or on ebay. If you want you can use live bait. A big sucker fish and just put a hook on from the top and just let it swim. Always used a live sucker works the best!
what brand decoy was that cisco??????
not a chance theres already enough people by my house
@muskiemachinery smaller pike have vertical markings till thy get bigger sumtimes making thm look like skies or tigers.. n hammer handles u say??? thts little body big head.. the pike thy spear r NOT hammer handles.
@Pethem yeah i hit them in the head with a club so they dont flop around and i leave them in the house so they dont freeze. i got er
@kurts57 That's what she said to your second sentence!
where do u spear at
hey i saw your video not bad, nothin like spearin pike in crystal clear water! do you see a lot of panfish and stuff there too?
Wish people would understand the difficulty behind spearing, set up, finding spots, and sitting hours on end- some days you may not even see pike, this isnt a sport you just go out and spear pike every single day... On on of all the work, we pay an extra $18 to take pike a different way, so yeah a lot more revenue is generated for the fisheries than your average angler, highly reccomend people to check the facts before giving us spear guys some shit about not catching fish on a line.
@ Michelroedeerhunter
its 3'9'' wide, 6' tall, and 6'5'' deep
He's a Canadian
Good video, but it would be better to dispatch the fish after putting him off the spear.
@Michelroedeerhunter
dispatch the fish?? she got speared man. thats like trying to wake a deer that you slammed thru the oven with a broadhead.
@mistacleve
ever been ice fishing? its fucking dark inside the shack lol pretty sure thats all they were going for
@mistacleve LMFAO what lake you on, i fish out by central mn on lake amelia
is that a toilet?
bunkerbro look at 2:08
lol
why negative comments..
who gives a fuck
he just catch them
and eat them
i'm jealous
thats bullshit son. ive had the radio on and talk all the time and you can see the fish dont give a shit. the only thing that spooks the fish is when you movement in the house, like walking around or banging on the wall. however, i did have a fish come in the hole right after a conservation officer drove up on his snowmobile and was standing in the doorway asking for my licence, an 8 pounder came in. your funny.
Can everybody do me a favor and check out Blizzard Ice Products on facebook. I make spears on a laser out of stainless steel and sell them.
@muskiemachinery lol outlawed? we spear 2 feed our families and elder's it's not sport it's tradition....get it right
i spear a pike and eat it. you catch a pike and eat it. tell me the fucking difference.
@asianboy9821 your fuckin asian. would you like the fish eyes from my fish??? i'd love to see you try survive in the wilderness up in my neck of the woods.
i can guarantee you've never done it so you cant talk bad about it.
Nothen more primal them spearing fish how long hase the human race been doing this .fresh fish clean oil tasty Put on some football grad some beer .cant get more American then that. Fuck city dwellers they don't know shit couldn't servive behind a 7 11 store
that does not look to fun you catch huge pike and they can't even fight and you have no choice but to keep every fish. plus you keepin the big spauners which totally wrong, but at least you eating what your catching
that does not look to fun you catch huge pike and they can't even fight and you have no choice but to keep every fish. plus you keepin the big sponners which totally wrong, but at least you eating what your catching
