anyone want to drift/spearfish Apple River (Hudson area)?
I was just angling in the Apple River north of Hudson, WI this past weekend (by Cedar Lake Speedway) and noticed some big suckers and a few carp cruising around. Visibility might be sketchy once you actually get in the water, but it looked doable.
I'm an experienced spearfisherman in the ocean and freshwater lakes but have never dove a small river or stream and it's something I really want to try sometime.
Is anyone up for giving it a shot with me one of these Sept. Sat. or Sundays? I can't of course do it alone since we need 2 vehicles to do a drift swim.
As for the safety of two spearfishermen drifting down a small river, I do have some ideas on how we could do that without adding any unwanted, really big and ugly 160 pound "carps" to our stringer. I've been around risky sports long enuf that I've finally taken a "safety first" attitude with everything these days.
I plan on diving with a thin wetsuit this time of the year and the extra flotation will be welcome. The stream is definitely cooler than the lakes right now.
PM me if this sounds interesting.....

I can also wait till next spring, but hitting it without rainy, flooded conditions might be impossible at that time of the year.
