Your set up sure is nice bro …..good times

Spent countless hours staring down a 24”x24” or a 24”x30” hole decoying pike back in the 80s in dark houses..At one time my brother and best friend and I put out 3 shacks on 3 different lakes two were 4’x8’ with two holes one was 8’x8’ with 3 holes.
In Minn it is only legal to spear pike and rough fish through the ice. Back then it was illegal to have the spear in the house if you were angling, so if a walleye or school of pan fish showed up you’d a quietly get the spears out of the house and drop down the angling lines…Opening the door letting light in when putting the spears out generally scared the walleye off, and it worked just the opposite if you were angling in the spear holes and a nice pike showed up that wouldn’t bite…opening the door trying to sneak the spear in usually scared them off
