KTapper Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Thats cool man. I'm going to make a small spear shack this summer and give spearing a try next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokee Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Bigslugger, way to go. I speared my first one about 32 years ago. I'm 43 now and it seems like yesterday. Get some dark blankets to put over the house. That should help a little.Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merkman Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Yep dark blankets are the way to go. I like to use moving blankets. They are thick and quilted. They are great for darkening it up and for insulation you will use allot less propane!! They are pretty cheap at any of those cheep tool places that send catalogs all the time. I just clamp them on the outside, it may look a little hillbilly but from the inside of the house you don't notice it at all. Once you have decided you want to spear and have the money for it then invest in something different. As for the rope this little trick should help. I always keep the rope above the spear by placing it in between the pole and the canvas like this. Make sure has enough friction so it stays put but make sure it pulls easy from where you put it. Test that before you throw the spear. That is a great video!! It is really cool to see you getting out there and making it work!! I am glad you were rewarded!!! Nice Pike!!
