Alright ladies and gents , here's the deal !
I'm so new to this game that i don't even know how to spell spear fishing.
I have no gun ( besides my winchester super x3 for ducks , geese , and turkeys ) I have no idea what the first step is or anything and worst of all I don't have the luxury of running out my back door and jumping into the wild blue yonder , fact is i Live in Illinois and if you've looked at a map lately it's nowhere close to an ocean.

I need all the advice i can get for this awesome sport , from A to Z .
I need to know about guns , tips , everything.
I will be hunting small fish in feashwater , anywhere from the surface to the bottom.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks

Jonathan
