Darkhouse Spearing Photos Gallery

Only fish I speared (30") up at the third river flowage this past weekend saw 4 but werent in the hole far enough. Came home with 30 sunfish, 50 jumbo perch,1 rockbass between heidi,my gpa and myself.

This fish came in 10min before spearing ended for the day, and we were in the middle of packing up!

seen vehicles in the pic. how was the ice, snow and slush conditions? good thing ya went this weekend next weekend ya would get a bit chilly i am afraid!

[Laska]

it was in the negatives when we were their so whats chilly to you? ice blocks we pulled out were 14" solid clear ice then around 4" of crapola. Trucks were out and the ice never even made a sound... snow wasnt to bad depended on where you were drifting was around but for the most part it was good.

Just curious if you caught the perch and sunfish while you were spearing? I like to bring my kids with and seeing more fish keeps them interested longer. I have my oldest boy(13) hooked on spearing now, he has gotten about a dozen northerns and a whitefish this winter. Thanks!

[MJ1657]

I have caught quite a few fish in the spear hole while i'm spearing. It does keep kids alot more interested.

[Laska]

I think Ive only stabbed 4 northerns this year so ur kids doing really good!

I catch perch if their around thats all I like to catch!

this was a school of sunfish up at winnie, bass in the top left corner, big sunfish!

Fish N Guy, can you give us a weight and length? Man that thing is what I would love to put on the wall! ><> What a pig!

[Fish'n guy]

Thanks Guys, never did get a weight but she was just shy of 40" by my spear. Very thick across the back and deep too. Kind of a nice surprise to finish up for the day!

[glenn57]

hey BNS, i've always "gotten it". how was the trip to little falls?

[scott-z]

Thanks Laska, he really enjoys it. I had my 5 year old out on Sunday. We were out for about 2 hours and seen a few little pike. I got a couple of them to raise up with the decoy so he could see them. He might be hooked now as well. How deep were you on Whinnie? I have never speared up there, but it would be fun to see perch and sunnies while you were spearing. Is that typical up there? I have seen quite a few perch on Leech Lake before, but that was before you could angle and spear at the same time.
