Hello from Wisconsin

    Just found this forum and wanted to say hello.
    I started spearfishing this summer and can only say I wished I would have started 40 years ago as I'm having a riot. Spearing Lake Michigan and the freshwater inland lakes around home.


    We can only spear pan fish and rough fish in WI and I don't care to kill anything I'm not going to eat so it's Perch, Bluegills and Crappies for me. I have a JBL pole spear that is working out well and now have a 55CM Cressi that is on it's way to my place in a few days.


    I'm thinking this winter I'd like to build a wooden gun scaled down for the pan fish I hunt. If anyone has any ideas they'd like to pass on, please do so.


    Best regards and shoot straight,

    Welcome to the forum.


    I think that sounds like a lot of fun hunting. W panfish you really don't want to damage the meat cos there isn't all that much so I'd avoid the multi prongs and put a nice thin shaft on that cressi. Grease the fish w head shots and you'll maximize your take


    Post some pics of your hunting ground and gear. We love to see spearing in all her shapes and homes

    i like to spear fish

    Here is a modification I've done to the JBL pole spear. Makes changing the bands much easier and keeps the water out of the shaft for more neutral buoyancy.
