Here isa couple whitefish some my clients took. Those fish are a blast, don't stop, fairly fast, and are ghost looking.

Capt'nMorgan if you know anyone in commercial construction they could get you gunnysacks. Plumbers and pipefitters get lots of parts in them. We throw them away right and left.

Do they come to the decoy, or do they just happen to pass through? Do you smoke them?

[fisherking01]

Nice, hope to get out tomorrow with the camera!! gonna try one of my new spears!!

[waterbound]

What a spear! Do you make them yourself?

[fisherking01]

Yes, in the cold months I make a lot of spears, every size, weight, style. I enjoy that nearly as much as using them.

shamalex72,

I smoke some, soak them in a brown sugar/salt brine overnight, then put them in a smoker for about 3 - 4 hours. I do a cold smoke the 1st 3 hours then do a hot smoke the last hour to cook them.

I also bake them, They are a firmer meat, flake off nicely. I have also grilled them with a little butter and galic spread over the top, I don't wrap them, leave the skin on and put that down on the rack of the grill, it acts like the tin foil.

i did deep fry some last week, had some pike mixed in, I could not tell the difference between the fish, I actually didn't know which one was which.

I usually try to take off any belly fat (the silvery stuff) and on any bigger fish they have a Mud line (fat) down by the tail on the laterail line.

They decoy in some days, other days they come within a foot or 2 just to see what's going on. Run small decoys for them, around 3" or smaller if possible, flash works well too, jig a spoon. There will be days where they will attach a spoon or small decoy like a pike, then other days they will stay 2' away and catch the edge of your hole. So prepare for angled shots, they don't give you much time some days, less than 3 seconds, Then they get you all flustered when you miss 3 in a row because they are cruising through, Then the one stops right in front of the decoy, you get all excited because it stopped then you choke since you think it's a easy shot....(I have never done that, I have just heard)... LOL.

They are very addicting, they are so much fun, and give you great practice throwing a spear. And as a bonus they taste great.

That is one very nice spear!!!

[mrklean]

that looks like something the devil should have in his hand

[fisherking01]

as far as the fish are concerned, he could be holding the spear!

2010 chrome edition (not chromed, painted with chrome paint)

made it out today, dropped the spear on the first one at 10, in the head, never wiggled. second at 11, fish took off when I dropped the spear, got it in front of the back fin, not where you want to hit them, but with these barbs, the fish simply do not come off until you take them off!!

[shamalex72]

thanks for the info spearingguide, I might have to go try for them someday.
