Me and my buddy want to get some more people to spearfish with us in Lake St. Francis and other places.

Let me know !

St. Francois lol....

In valleyfield. There is a big damn surrounded by water. the water is clear.

Many people spearfish there. I've already speared bass, walleye, carp, buffalo fish.

I've seen spearfisherman come out with Atlantic salmon, trout, lake salmon. I"ve also seen sturgeon and muskie in the deeper water (but you cannot spear them)

I would like to try spearfishing one day.

is spearfishing salmon legal? I seriously doubt that. As for bass, they're so territorial It's not a challenge. I wouldn't have fun spearfishing any of the bass family.

Walleyes must be a bit more interesting.

I'm not against spearfishing at all but for me, there must be some kind of challenge like in bowhunting or flyfishing. Dang I'd love to live closer to the sea

No you are not allowed to spear salmon, but some people don;t follow the rules.

As for the bass, they are territorial but they are very fast and spooked by you. It's harder to spear one than you think !

What do you use gear wise? Do you freedive or scuba? What kind of wetsuit and speargun?

 

[nordiques]

not to sure its legal to spearfish on scuba...

From what I remember.... it's illegal in Ontario, and in Quebec you need the same fishing license, and you have the same quotas.

I free dive. You are not allowed in Canada to spear on scuba as the other guys mentioned
