[QUOTE="Lungdeflator, post: 169869, member: 5163"] Decoys, how many you run, depends on the lake and fishes attitudes. I have found that a standard red/white decoy is the "go to" color for most lakes. Doesn't hurt to have other colors and combos along to try if it is slow. I hardly ever run 2 decoys, if I do, it is because it is slow and I am trying things to get the pikes to perk up. As far as string, usually only need 15-20 ft of it so it is hard to go spend 30$ on a spool of flouro just for that. Depends on water clarity too. Most of the time the string will not matter, clear or murky. I have ran braided tip up line, flouro, and spider wire braid without noticing a big difference. I like the spider wire braid, probably because it is the thinnest. I'm not 100% sure on the regs for ND, but might want to read in depth on what you can dump into a lake. Or call your local warden and ask. There is a lot of things that will work. Egg shells work well, the corn works well, cut up potatoes work. Instead of putting something down hole, try just raising your decoy up a little bit. I've spent a ton of time in a darkhouse, so any questions or anything feel free to ask or send a PM. PS- If you want a spearing buddy in VC, just drive 50mph in town until you get pulled over. It will probably be my cousin, he likes to spear. [/QUOTE]
