As much as I hate to do it, I know I needed to get Miss Faith packed back up soon to send to Minnesota.
After adding to her "mojo" by taking 2 gobblers with her since she got here in early May....I knew I wanted add just a little more before sending her off.
With the weather forecast for the week, I needed to get on the river this morning.
I left the house and hit the river before sunrise with a single goal in mind....get one fish to add to the Miss Faith "mojo"...anything beyond that would just be a bonus.
It didn't take long...

This was a nice fat fish!

I missed a couple more, and lost two that somehow got off off during the fight.
Then I drove to another spot on the river...

Nice Curt!

Slower water here, but as i worked the shoreline, I spotted a fish "tailing" up stream right along shore. Tough sneaking in this slow water, but I was just sneaky enough...

As I was untangling line and getting this fish subdued, I saw another fish upstream and I had fish #4...

Another good sneak and I had fish #5...

Looking down stream, working back toward my truck and another fish showed itself. See the subtle ripple and dark spot just to the right of the weeds?

A great way to "cap off" my time with Miss Faith...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/P5210238missfaithcarp.JPG)
I promise that I treated Miss Faith with more "TLC" than I've ever showed any bowfishing bow in the past...although a little muddy, she's none the worse for wear.
She's cleaned up now and will be headed to Minnesota soon...I'll miss her :campfire:

All right, Curt! Way to keep it going with Faith. Congrats on the fish. It is real hard to send that bow on it's way!
Congrats again on a great time with Miss Faith!

just curious, do you eat the carp you shoot? I have only had it once and loved it but am too afraid to cook it myself haha
-
Me too. Just curious. Do you or can you eat those carp.

WOW! A very good day bowfishing. Nothin' like it when the fish are out and about. Great pics, as usual.
I'm gonna have to get after them soon. Been working on my Jon boat lately trying to make her more "user friendly".
