[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 247631, member: 3373"] Kind of new myself but I usually have the decoy down about 6 ft. Have fished in 17 ft. of water with the decoy up at 6 ft. and fish did come up frequently enough that speared my limit with no problem. I move the decoy pretty continuous but not real aggressive. Depends on the decoy. Have one that swims in bigger circle than another. The one that swims in smaller circles doesn't seem to work as well it to aggressive. There is no catch and release while spearing. So, even though there is no shortage of northern pike in most lakes, make sure it's one you want to kill before throwing the spear. I picked 6 ft. down for the decoy because it seems I'm more accurate at that depth. Too deep and I miss a lot of them. I actually drop the spear more than throw. My throw is more like a dart throw. I had no teacher, it's been all trial and error. Lastly, make sure you are careful and don't fall in the hole. [/QUOTE]
