dark house

[northspear]

well im getting impatient so im going to build a dark house while i wait for the ice. any good ideas for pictures. im looking to build a very small and easy dark house two man. what i would like is just to walk in sit there. Plus i just bought a portable ice house last year and selling it to my dad to buy a quick fish 3 everyone talks about spearing out of them. sounds like there safer with having that back door instead of the door in front of the hole with my flip house.

heres some from one I built last year and it is 4x5 with removable skies I'm sure you could build it 4x8 or even 5x8 real easy

[northspear]

this is what i was looking for thanks any inside pictures. no big deal if not. im just not to talented in building things. what did you use for skis?

[Gordie]

I'll have to do some digging and if I cant find the pics I could possibly take some of it now but its insulated so you might get the best info from it

As for the skis I had some so called rounded angle iron laying around from a job and just fabed them up.

[northspear]

anybody else have ideas im going to start next week. elwood find any inside picture?

[jigginjim]

Nice looking dark house. The skis look narrow to work before much snow but until it hits the who really knows. Nice system.

northspear, my shack is a lil bigger but Id check it out inside picture n all its on the first page of this forum.

Looking nice bud! Now all you need is some ice

[Gordie]

thats the shack I built last season and the skis are detacthable and it went thru the snow very well last year but the hitch broke because and this was my fault I didnt overkill it like I ussally do.

I will try and get some pics this weekend I cant find the SD card that has the other pics on them

[bassNspear]

shes a dandy, just needs to help ya get some fish!

[northspear]

well i priced out the material and going to start building it tomorrow. 4x8 house with the hole in the middle. ill take pics as we go along

[bassNspear]

Wish ya Luck!

[northspear]

well i just started the house and we got the floor done with the hole cut. and got all the walls framed. now just to sheet it and put the roof on. its going real fast and hope to use it next week or weekend. i forgot a camera but next time i work on it i will take pics.

[bassNspear]

how big of hole?

[northspear]

put a 3x2 hole not too big but good enough for me. on my big house that i built last year has a 4x3.

[bassNspear]

not to bad! SHould be able to see good with that

[Meat-Run]

My first house had a 4x2 spear hole and that was really nice. Not sure if you really need anything larger as it just makes it that much easier to drop my cell phone in the lake...;o)

Not the cell phone.... that is the biggest pike attractor out there.

Get a call on the phone and the pike come in the hole!!!

It is almost like they think the phone is for them?

My luck I would get a knock on the door from the DNR stating that I'm using electronics to take fish and get a ticket funny though.

Dang, I love darkhouse spearing!!!

So many good and different ways to do the same thing. (house layout etc.)

Looks good!!

[Gordie]

lookng good, should work great

[bassNspear]

may i ask why you put the hole in the middle of the house>?

[DaMoose]

Not for sure why Northspear places the hole in the center, but I also do. I usually have a 2'X 4' or 3' X 4' placed in the center. This is really nice when there is two people, u can seen a fish from any angle. The only house I have built without the hole in the center is a 7'X12' which has three 2'X3' spear holes in.

[Gordie]

sweet I like the hole in the center Idea but I'm gonna go with two seperate holes in my protable this year. I would love to see some pics of your 7x12 shack
