Picked up my new boat on Thur, Joe and I went out saw a few carp but couldn't hit any. Joe wanted to go to the school dance tonight so I went out alone, I ended up boating two and had four pull off, one was a huge slob that bent my point and straitened one of the barbs out. This bow fishing is a blast :thumbsup:

A great job indeed!!!

Great job, yeah it's fun.

what a way to break in a new boat
i remember when my sea-ark was new didnt take me long to start fillin up barrels with fish
i see u are using an ams retreiver in my opinion thats the way to go what kind of heads are you using it takes a pretty good head too stand up too hogs like your shootin
fish looks close to 18-20 lbs wouldn't you say?

What model and make of boat did you get? I've been looking around Nebraska for a new boat, or a new to me boat. I've been asking for input from various people. On one hand I would like to get a 14ft wide bottom jon boat because you can muscle them around if you need to. This fall I will be elk hunting back home in Montana and will have to take a 15-20 minute boat trip each way. After that I may not need that size of boat again. The other boat I'm considering is a 16 ft wide bottom, modified V with the steering console and controls. Just thought I'd get your 2cents if you have the time. Great job and I'm sure there will be more carp in your future.
Thanks

Is that your RedWing you're shootin'? Nice set up. Nice fish. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Nice set up! Good shooting! Is that the Hudson?
Jim, that sure is a WHOPPER!! Good shooting buddy! I'll bet Joe was second guessing himself on the dance after hearing about all the action.
Jim, That sounds like a blast ! I have a canoe and boat like yours.I bought all of the gear needed to bow fish but Black Creek by me is so muddy you can't see the carp until your a couple feet from them and then they spook. If ya don't mind sharing your spot let me know and I will come down sometime.
Bob
Great stuff! ;)
Man, am I envious.... I'm beginning to feel like Captain Aham in search of the Great White Carp... :^) Good job and congratulations on the new boat

WOW! Now THAT has gotta be a blast! I've never been bow fishin' Jim. Kinda like to give it a try........ :rolleyes: .........
See Ya At Sawmill Buddy!
... mike ... :archer: ...
Will give more details later my partner was with me today, were getting some lunch and going back out. I'll have some more pics later :thumbsup:
Good luck Guys, I hope that 76'er serves You well. bretto
Yep!! Looks like Y'all are havin' a blast!!!!
Would love to see and hear more details about the boat and how you have it set-up (and future plans and ideas for it )
My boat is a 14 foot Crestliner 1448 modified jon boat it has a 15 hours four stroke mercury. I do have plans on a trolling motor and a 1000 watt generator for a couple lights so we can go out at night. Joe hit four fish and had them on but they were all hogs and they pulled off, he is not pulling enough poundage to get a pass through, none the less he made some super shots and had a blast. I shot 10 more fish today one of them was almost 26 pounds, I passed up a ton of shots trying to get Joe a fish we kept seeing this real big one but I wanted Joe to get it and not me, he would of liked showing the old man up, maybe tomorrow.

Good deal! Glad to see your having fun. Great pics and story thanks for sharing it!
:eek: wow! those are some nice fish, congrats. keep at it joe it will happen,
Congrats Jim and Joe :clapper: Looks like you and joe are getting out and having some fun:0) What water are you fishing ? I have been out to the pond at work on lunch every other day and not seeing very many fish. We should get together and chase some around some time. Drew
Awesome pictures. I love the green color on that old bow.
:clapper:
Nice Stone Knife! I was able to get some nice ones on Owasco this weekend.
We went out this afternoon and had a blast Joe came close again but couldn't connect, the fish were deep and it was messing him up. I shot 6 two pulled off but one of them that I boated was a PIG it was bigger than the one I shot yesterday and that one weighed 26 pounds this one was well over 30 take a look at the pic :thumbsup: When we got back to the dock there was a man from Poland and his son he said he smokes them so we gave him our fish. Joe and I had a blast again.

Those are some fantastic carp. I'm going to have to get back into bowfishing.
The pics just keep getting better and better!
How can you top this weekend? :confused:
Killdeer :thumbsup: :thumbsup: (a thumbs-up for each of you!) :)
Kathy, it will be tough to top this weekend as far as bowfishing goes, I think we hit the spawn just right, the spot we went to on Sun I picked on a hunch after reading about places to fish for carp, we were there once about a month ago just to look it over. Next week Joe and I are going on his school field trip to the whale watch in Boston, then there's sawmill. Were bunking with Mike so that will give this weekend a run for it's money :bigsmyl: :thumbsup:
Very nice Jim!!Nice boat too
I went up to the cottage this past weekend and the carp kept interupting my leveling the dock LOL I'd get going and here would come some more.
They were really splashing down the shore but I didn,t bother putting the boat in to go for them.Spent most of the weekend gettin the the rest of the dock out between regular pole fishing and the direct hook method of bowfishin.
Ended up with 7 fish which means ruffly 40-50 shots LOL
Fish should be splashin all week this week
That fella from Poland knows those fish wel. It's the major game fish in all of Europe.
Awesome! Those are some monsters! I'd be scared to shoot at one of those.
Wish we lived closer. Ru and I went out a couple of days ago. Nothing! :(
Seeing those pictures makes me want to get out early a.m.
I had a friend visit from Romania last summer. We went out fishing. Me for bass and trout, him for carp and catfish. :confused: He said he wouldn't turn down a trout just because they taste so good but as far as sport AND taste he preferred carp. Seems like the Asians and the Europeans really have a soft spot for it. Makes me wish i had paid more attention growing up, now I'd have a good recipe or two.
Till next time,
Congratulations!

Jim

Mike
