Had some great carp shooting over the weekend.

We each shot around 18 in about 3.5 hours. Best day bowfishing ever!

This is something I've been meaning to try for years.  What do you look for in a carp-bearing body of water?

#1 carp  :)

Depends where you live but flooded grass flats are great or pretty much any river with enough water to hold them.

In my younger years, I tried bowfishing with the old Bear line holder and had arrows hang up and come back at me. I hadn't tried it again until last year using the AMS reel and was hooked. This year I bought my own AMS outfit and attached it to my Widow MAII. Everything just came together about the time those Carp got the urge. My partner said it's "the most fun he's had with his pants on"!
