I would like to try bow fishing for the first time and was hoping that there was someone in my neck of the woods (Saratoga Springs) with a good deal of experience and willing to show me some 'how to' tips.
:archer2:
Dozer,
I would love to go out with you. I have killed Thousands of carp but not with trad gear. I am looking for a really cheap recurve for this season. The two I had in mind both sold moments before I was able to pick them up.
Here is the deal, I'm kinda new to the area and I dont know where to go around here so if you know of some areas, we can take my boat.
Also For tips or maybe a ride a londg check with Indianabowman. Terry is a top notch guy and has a lot of experience. He lives about 45 minutes south of you.
Sounds like a good plan to me. Send me a PM on the details and we'll set something up.
There was a bowfishing tournament at Saratoga Lake the past few years, so you know there's carp there. I heard the guy that ran it canceled for this year though. Also Lake Champlain is loaded with carp. Lots of gar too, but they don't let you NYer's shoot 'em. :readit: The very southern end, South Bay, is a prime area. :thumbsup:
I was wrong, tourney's still on. Here's a link. http://bow.fishingcountry.com/bfcforums/showthread.php?t=34162
Great I'll have to check out Saratoga lake. Dozer, you're close so maybe you'll join me?
