    yes. you would have to get a feel for how low to aim, depending on the angle at which you're looking at the water's surface [not the fish] and how far under the surface the fish it.

    you can test this by putting your spear under the water and looking at the apparent bend in the stick.

    nice sig line by the way; gary paulsen was a childhood hero of mine.

    Thanks. I love his books. Especially his brian books. Hatchet, Brians hunt, brians return, brians winter, they're all good. Oh and by the way, do you think that i could get a pike with a blowgun? I have seen them really close and i thought if i had a bow and arrow... or blowgun... I have had instances where a ten pounder came right up to the boat and took a wrecked minnow. I had a chance for a ten pounder.

    What about just harpooning a fish? Not killing it but bringing it in with a barbed dart. Any ideas?

    as pike are often the quarry of ice spearing, where they must be lured to the top, i'm certain that with a working design and technique that it would be otherwise the same.

    I mean In the summer. Lure them in or "chum" them and harpoon them. Or just kill it with a broadhead. This site has great for broadheads http://www.geocities.com/blowgunhunter/broadhead.html

    even in summer, if you can entice them to feed near the surface, i bet it would work.

    Aim low though I don't believe a blowgun to be an acceptable means of spearin fish I have owned several and while amazingly accurate at short range ,,,,,,, not alot of power I'd just as soon fashion a spear
