Got a new toy.. a Porta Bote. Thing folds up like a big surfboard. Anyhoo, loaded up the the kids and threw in a bow. Went down to Utah Lake which has a gillion carp and tried my hand. First shot of my first fishing outing and got this one. No record but it was fun. Got one more about the same size before calling it. When the lake is calm (yesterday) I saw a "raft" of who knows how many carp but didn't have the bow.
Used a firefly longbow with a AMS strapped to it.

That's a slick looking boat. Love bowfishing

Got it on my little trailer. I think I could get everything if I throw it on a roof and then put all the stuff on a hitch mount carrier if I get creative. Got it all set up used locally with motor etc. Looked brand new... until I got ahold of it.
Fold up boats are awesome! glad you are working on the carp down in Utah lake.
Very cool boat!
Congrats on your first fish with a bow. Now, you are hooked.
:thumbsup:
I never knew of such a thing, killer rig!!
Pretty slick!
:clapper:
Cool!!! I like it. God bless.
Thank you for sharing!
I did not know that any such thing existed.
WOW! Amazing!!
God bless,Mudd
Very nice!
Cool Boat, thanks for sharing.
Cool set up! That looks like a deluxe folder. I understand those big carp skins make good selfbow backing... ;)
Yeah David I think I can use it for a drift boat on the Provo River too : )
I couldn't stand it... I got three more fish today.
:bigsmyl:
Got to figure out a better way to hold the bow in the boat though.
Great boat Russ! Never saw one before... thanks for sharing buddy!
That's an interesting boat. What's a fold up boat cost?
too much. the boats are around 2k new and the motor was probably over a grand. It has a bunch of extras too. I got it all used but basically new for under 2k. just like anything weird it cost more than it should.
Very neat looking boat. Never seen one like it before, sure could be handy.
Way to chrisen her too! I had a honda 8 hp stolen right off my boat...still bummed about that. Only used 3 times. Watch that motor!
Very nice, bow fishing is a blast.
