*Camo_Girl* Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hey y'all. I didn't know whether or not to post this either in here or in bowhunting! Anyway, have any of you ever heard of bowfishing? Anyone ever tried it? Just thought it sounded kind of cool. Thanks! -CG:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 It's an entertaining way to get rid of trash fish like carp, suckers, buffalofish, and these gar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 It's an absolute blast. Used to arrow them up on Kelleys Island when I first got into bowhunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Camo_Girl* Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 It looks like a ton of fun! Is it just like bow hunting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungbuster12point06 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 A little different than bow hunting, heres a video clip from last summer, shore fishing, can also be done from a boat and when done at night under the lights it's a blast.........

Tominator Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Carp?? Yup. There used to be an inlet on the beach just east of the state park. The inlet allowed lake water into the swamp that's south of the campground. The carp used to swim into the swamp and they had to use that inlet. It was a blast to stand on the bank of the inlet and arrow them as they passed by, or wade in the swamp and arrow them there if the inlet was low with a south wind. Tourists hated us.

I have always wanted to learn to bowfish myself. Too bad you don't live closer Camo Girl, we could learn this together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathews4life Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 absolute blast...once you do it one time your hooked for life. I highly recommend it. Down south you can go out and shoot redfish, flounder, and all that good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
