Our first spear house build

[LunkerCity]

I love those saws! What an awesome dad you are and what a lucky kid you have! Merry Christmas

[northerndave]

Hey thanks, really nice of you to say and I appreciate it.

I'm just glad the kid still thinks I'm cool enough to hang out with. lol!

He's learning, I'm learning, and we're both having fun.

They would be a little lighter if you had one or two plastic ones in there too....

But then I'd never see fish

Yes congrats!

I heard on the news last night that the General, Stormin Norman has passed away. That's very sad for me, he was really something. Not sure why I'm mentioning it here... But I'm very proud to be able to tell people, and to tell my kids that I met him once. 1991, Saudi Arabia. He shook my hand and spoke to me. He was a giant of a man, literally and figuratively.

RIP General, may our schools and history books carry your story forward in time.

some black paint on the skid.

Big loops in the back to lift with a handi-man jack if it should freeze down. Also some skate plate sections welded to the insides of the runners in back, to help it track straight.

[northerndave]

I'm calling it done, It's out of my garage lol!

[merkman]

Done is a 4 letter word....

So is PIKE, as in time to spear some...

[northerndave]

We're out in the wheel house on lake of the woods, been out since noon sunday. Haven't tried the spear house yet.

[Capt'nMorgan]

where did you go out of, driving full size rigs now,hows the fishing on LOW?

[northerndave]

My boy stuck his first pike yesterday. I cant show a pic because the only picture i have is of the fish with the spear in it. He ate his pike last night in our sleeper house where we are set up for walleye. The spear house is 3 miles from our walleye shack, he's been going to it by snowmobile. The wood stove is awesome, the spear works great, pulles the house to its spot with snowmobile. It's all working out great.

Make sure to have someone who knows what they are looking at to take a look at your old decoys before you actually use them... some genuine old decoys can be worth some bucks.

have you made any improvments to this house like insolate it or is it still the same.

Xbox, Playstation? Who needs em', right?! How about a hole in the ice and a spear. Good sh!t!!!
