Bowfishing through the ice.
 

Up here in MN we have a season (spearing) on Northern Pike in the winter. I was just wondering if any of you all ever tried shooting in a fish house down into 10 ft of water?

TJ We arent allowed to shoot gamefish,and all my carp,i shoot off the ice when they swim past a big hole in the ice,Not a hole i made, just open water.

It would be just like spearing but the amount of motion would probably spook a weary pike. I thought up the same thing while I was sitting in my darkhouse.

Will the arrow be able to penatrate 10 ft of water tho?

Just to clarify, it's not legal to shoot pike with an arrow from a darkhouse, only rough fish.

Since when do you have to shoot through 10 ft of water? Who cares if its illegal we're not actually doing it. You would use a lure and attract a northern up to the surface and shoot it just like spearing. One guy jigs the decoy and the other throws the spear.

I did not realize it was illeagle, beeing that you can spear them. Just checked with the local CO and yes it is against the law.
