We see bluegill (aka 'pumpkinseed') here , mostly in the inland lakes - out in the bay I see alot of rock bass, smallmouth, suckers and walleye in the spring - not to mention carp etc. I'm looking forward to getting in early this year and see what shows up. Fall brings impressive salmon and lake trout. Similar situation here game fishing wise. Spearguns are the most restricted - more so than bow or handspear. I wrote my state rep and never heard back. The DNR was kind enough to reply in detail and told me that spearfishing law changes of the sort I'm talking about require legislative changes.. Basically that means $$$ since that's all politicians care about. Since I seem to be pretty much the only freediver in northern michigan I don't see much happening law wise.
Cripes, lake trout and salmon are only available to divers in late october and november anyway - how big a problem could that be?
