Me and 3 buddies went out last night after classes to try and get into some carp. We've been seeing a few moving up into shallow water here and there but the numbers just haven't gotten into shootable depth yet. Apparently in the couple of weeks where we couldn't go, a substantial number of fish moved up into the coves where we put a hurting on them. Overall we killed 53-55 drum, common carp, bigmouth buffalo and smallmouth buffalo. I personally killed about 20 of the fish with the old Sammick sage.

Dang that looks like a blast.
Dang..good shootin!
Good shootin', congrats. Bow fishing is something I've been thinking about getting into for a while, and I've recently decided to give it a try. How could it not be fun? It combines two of my favorite things, hunting and fishing. Thanks.

It's a riot man. It's real fun with a few buddies...you get to rib em real bad when they miss a shallow fish haha
I don't have any bowhunting equipment yet, but It's gonna be a while here anyway, unless I do it through the ice. Bow ice fishing??
Bob
Heck I'd try it
Gotta try this sometime. Only fish allowed to shoot up here is pike, but still it's bowfishing.
And Matthew, Carp(e) diem. :biglaugh:
Me too. They spear fish through the ice using decoys, why not a bow if legal? I'm sure It's been done.
Is there no limit to how much fun you can have in this sport? :D
Bob
Congrats. Looks like you fellows had a grand time. That's the way to put them down.
Tony
That looks like a blast! I am building a boat now and hope to have it finished soon so I can get after them!
Congrats to y'all!

That's one good thing about Tennessee. Open water and no season on rough fish.

Cool
That had to be a blast bro.... So what do you do with all those carp? Garden fertilizer? or what?
Congrats on your success. Here the water is still hard. Won't get into it until mid-May.
