156: Spearfishing Walleyes - Jon Durtka
Before you get up in arms, listen to the podcast ----- Walleyes, Pike, and Lake Trout are now spearable in parts of Michigan. Previously only rough fish, carp, sheephead, gar, suckers etc were only spearable. This rule change came about as Jon and the Michigan Spearfishing Association put together a logical management plan to allow spearfisherman the ability to harvest more table worthy fish in areas that already have fishing seasons. We answer MANY of the concerns people have in this podcast such as ruining the resource, overharvest, illegal harvest, other angler conflicts etc. Either way, spearfishing these gamefish is far more difficult than you think and another great opportunity added for anglers to get out and try a new method of take to put food on the table. Hope you all enjoy!
