Hi Joker, I'm also from Wisconsin, Madison to be exact, as are several others. As far as the regulations for spearing fish; Rough fish there's no problem spearing at anytime, the same for panfish (crappies, blue gills, perch, ect) when in season. Game fish are off limits, the same goes for catfish, you can't spear them. Also there are certain lakes in the state that don't allow any spearfishing at all even for the rough fish such as Devil's Lake. Just to let you know in Lake Monona here in Madison there's a warm water outlet where the carp like to crowd, that is a great place to spear especially in the middle of the winter, it's ot too cold there and the visibility isn't bad. I'm sure Jon will also reply to your post with information that I may have overlooked. what part of Wisconsin are you from?
Later,
Brian
