For Laska and others who have built a spearhouse ?

[cherokee]

Just looking for some ideas as to what has worked for you in your new house and what hasn't. Is there anything that once you finished the house wished you would have incorporated into it.

I am planning on redoig my 4' x '4 house into a 4' x 8' house starting this weekend.

All ideas welcome and please include must haves or a wish list.

Thanks,

i have a 4x6 i have to step over the hole to get to the door. my next one will have the door on the side instead of the end.

I can see where that might cause a problem.

I kinda want to make the hole fairly large and have enough room around it in case my family wants to go and watch or spear.

loved mine just for the next year ill add reels for my decoys instead of jigging sticks and Ill add hinges to my hole cover instead over moving them to the side when their in use.

I was thinking a rattle reel mounted to the ceiling or wall would work great.

i would suggest putting the rattle reel on the side by your head so you dont have to reach over the hole to move it up or down. just use cup hooks or something of that nature to route the line.

I'm also going to mount a video camera holder directly over the hole. In the house I currently have I mounted the one I take bowhunting that attaches to a tree. Worked pretty good.

Tie the camera off!!!

Preferably with a rope shorter than the distance from the mount to the water.

Water and video cameras for that matter any camera do not mix well together.

I gotta underwater camera, put it in the other hole and have my video camera feed into the monitor, so everything is water tight for the most part.

That's a good idea as well. Do you have any action shots on video. I'll have to try that as well. Get the shot from inside and the underwater action shot.

Last winter I made a spearing tape. Turned out pretty good for my first one.
