Cold Weather Bowfishing Pics

[wv lungbuster]

I've been getting the itch to go bowfishing the past couple days. Anyone ever do any cold temp carp shooting. It's been in or around 50 degrees for a week, the ice has melted away and I can't wait to spring.

Hard to shoot them through the 3 feet of ice we get here in January...  :D

I've heard of people cutting holes in the Ice and waiting.  

I have a few friends that get em at night in early, early spring.

Man, that's hardcore.  I can say with all honesty I have never wanted a carp that badly...

They're a lot eaiser to track in the snow.

Everyone thinks I'm crazy.

I gotta cousin that waites till it gets cold and takes a flash light and a frog gig then floats along nice and slow lookin in the water and gigs the fish, most of the time he does ok, always brings some home.

He went the other night and it was 6 degrees, sounds fun but to cold for me.

Still 2 months away for me. Shed hunting/scouting/stumping first, then turkey hunting, finally bowfishing when the turkeys are done humiliating me!

The tilapias are spawnning here in Florida. They are everywhere! I will not eat tilapia from the store because it comes from China. The tilapia farms in China feed them some nasty stuff. The inland canals and water ways here in FL are full of water and clean from good rains this winter and I have been eating tillapia for about a week now. We have blue tilapia and Nile Perch down here. They get pretty big too. Bowfishing is like the only option since they don't take lures and bates.

Waiting can't speer here until April 1 once when younger and dumber had to break skin of ice while wading so we could go on the opener.

Still Ice out but that's rapidly changing
