Icehole Adventure (Spearing Pike) Ice Fishing 2023 with NFN

Tried a different spin on this ice fishing season by going spearfishing for Northern Pike in Upper Michigan waters. Had a great time with good buds Cody, Jake, and Chouse. Spent two days (camped on the ice) looking for fish. Day two we had some action but unfortunately no fish were harmed in the making of this video.
We are hoping to get some excitement going to help to legalize northern pike spearing in Wisconsin. Please let us know your opinion by commenting on this video. Thanks

[@bluegills]

Yes...WI needs to legalize spearing and weed!

Hi Nick, Great video! I'd like your opinion on an unrelated subject. I plan to rig two copper rods this year since I don't have any. I'm thinking a 300 and I'd like your opinion on the second length. If you recommend a length longer than 300 feet please include a recommendation for a shorter length as me and my crew are older. Thanks Nick!

Hi Scott, I keep at least one 300, 200, and 150 coppers on board and they very on performance. My leader length at the business end is usually 15-20 feet of 25# or 32# flourocoat line. Good luck this season.

@@NoFishNicksAdventures Thanks for the help! Spring clip dipsey is a great idea too! Cheers to Troy and Scrapper John!

Nick, if you ever want a free guided trip we'll take you out for a couple days here in Central Minnesota! We are both very avid spearers here and I've been doing it using all home made gear since I was a youngin. Nonresident spearing license only about $6 and you'll need an angling license. We'd be happy to host you!

[@NoFishNicksAdventures]

Wow! Thanks for the invite. I might take you up on that.

How thick is the Ice? Thanks from California

6-9" where we were at

Hi Nick, Another copper question. If I have to cut and repair a copper line and I repair the line correctly, is it ok to keep using the copper as though the damage never happened? Thanks Nick.

[@NoFishNicksAdventures]

Yes. I have splices in some of my rigs. Just used haywire twist into a swivel and heat shrink tubing.
