I do a lot of diving/spearfishing in lakes. What an enjoyable time with my family, or 1 - 2 of my kids. We have a blast. I finally found an "active" sport we all can enjoy.

I like not having to worry about sharks and other creatures...I'm the top preditor here. However, when one encounters a large bass or Northern Pike, they think they are the top preditor & are not afraid of you. One can get really close...kinda cool.

Does take some "scouting" to find the lakes with the best visability. It is strange how one lake can be perfectly clear & another 10 minutes away had a visability of less than 1m.

Also, the best vis is in the early spring or winter (Algae count is down)...if there is open water, which leads to cooler temp waters & thus a 5mm open cell wet suit.

Good luck, check the regulations for spearfishing as they vary widely from location to location. By the way, crawdads are very good eats when prepared correctly.
