Minnesota DarkHouse Spear Rentals

Darkhouse spearfishing is a method of harvesting fish through the ice while using wood decoys, spoons or live decoys. Spearing in clear water so you can see the action unfold. Most of our spear holes are 4ft x 2ft which turns the lake into a tv screen that is always changing. Sitting in the shack you will see a variety of fish from smallbait fish to panfish while waiting for a Northern Pike.

In Minnesota, both residents and non-residents are allowed to spear northern pike.

Spear Houses are set up, holes are open and ready for you in the Brainerd Lakes Area. Location will depend on ice conditions, lake clarity, and fishing conditions. All houses have hookup for spear, two line hookups for decoys, and live bait harness.

Spear Shacks:

The houses will be on the Whitefish chain this year. This means we will have northern pike and whitefish available to us to spear. If anyone hasn’t eaten a smoked whitefish they are fantastic table fare!

The operation will be ran out of Boyd’s Lodge. Address is 36539 Silver Peak Rd, Crosslake, MN 56442. This location was chosen due to access to three different very productive areas for northern pike and whitefish. Also, Boyd’s lodge is available to stay at for $50 per night per person for anyone looking to stay on location!
