I'm pumped to have stumbled on this site. What a great place for information! I live in Minnesota and would like to get into some fresh water spearfishing. So far what I've found out is we can only spear rough fish here. Which I guess is better than nothing. Nice to meet all of you and hopefully talk more later.

Thanks. Yeah it's too bad I'd love to shoot some walley and bass. What do you do with rough fish you spear? I've heard of people eating the smaller carp. I've also heard of some farmers using carp as fertilizer. Just wondering if you eat any of them?
I've eaten smoked carp before and the small ones aren't as bad as people say. My grandfather used to eat fried carp, pickled carp, and smoked carp. I haven't tried any other variation, but I don't mind the smoked.
If you come over to Wisconsin you'll find that you can also spear pan-fish in most parts of the state. There are a half dozen counties where you can't spear anything at all, so check the fishing regulations first. I prefer crappie, perch and bluegill, but will shoot carp if there are a bunch of them there. Some lakes are packed with them and they are killing off the native species. If you do a search you should find lost of threads dedicated to this topic.
