Would that mean that we'd be alllowed to spearfish in places like John Pennekamp State Park and San Pedro State Park?



Personally, I wouldn't want to hunt in an area that had been protected since, in my experience, the fish seem to be less wary of humans and won't know to protect themselves. What's the fun in that?

Any insights on this? Any truth to this rumor?
I don't think I would want to spearfish in an area that has been protected from all spearing/ hunting for so long either. But, you bring up a good point. If the state is considering allowing hunting for deer, turkey, hogs, ducks, etc. then why exclude hunting (spearfishing) fish?
