Bow fishing 3-23-2015

[Matthew Bolton]

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..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

[Whitetail Addict]

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??

[Matthew Bolton]

Heck I'd try it

[Trond]

Gotta try this sometime. Only fish allowed to shoot up here is pike, but still it's bowfishing.
And Matthew, Carp(e) diem.  

[Whitetail Addict]

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

Good catch.

That looks like a boat load...of fish ...and fun!!

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

That had to be a blast bro.... So what do you do with all those carp?  Garden fertilizer? or what?
