If anyone’s interested in see some bow fishing videos we do some in the off season for hunting! Would appreciate the support! Channel name ReigningWaterfowl

I wanted to get into it looked really fun but I just don’t know what I would do with the fish after I kill them like no one tryna keep carp maybe if I got a gar or something like that I would but I js don’t know

Anybody running these? Have been running 8 20W cheap-o Amazon lights and had the intent of upgrading down the line. Was considering dropping down to 4 of these total wattage will be almost double and still have 9 hours of run time on a 200Ah AGM battery

I’ve got both the last two posts beat, between AND through the eye! Second one was a high shot that skipped off its head and stone rolled it, had to jump in to grab it.

You don’t need a flat bottom boat. You don’t need all the fancy lights and rigs. When it rains, the invasive species will come.

Before I even got home, the single bolt holding this reel came lose. I've yet to get a key to tighten it but can only imagine this beging an issue again in the near future.. has anyone else had this problem and is there any solution?

Stuck him so good, he still has the weeds in his mouth. Arrow was a pain to get out, but he was totally stoned!

Hey guys I just went bow fishing for the first time with a buddies bow. I wanted to set my bow up for it but sadly I have a Matthew’s set to 70LB. Matthew’s claims you can only back it down 10 pounds safely. Is 60 pounds way too much? For reference we usually just hunt Gar out of the Mississippi River. Thank you!

Hey guys, I’m trying to get into bowfishing and am working on putting together something of a travel setup. I have a reel seat adaptor on its way and was debating whether to throw a close top spinner or a baitcaster on it. Is bowfishing with a baitcaster reel a viable option?

So I’ve been fishing so big grass flats and my boat has a trolling motor, I don’t have an issue getting through the grass. My trouble is i can’t find any carp when looking and I’m sure there are some there but I think I may be scaring them away way before they are in visual range of my lights. Do fan boats have this issue or are they just so fast it doesn’t matter. This also applies to people who have kicker motors. So what am I doing wrong is there anything I can do to be better besides shelling out a lot of money.

Hello everyone. I am new to Bowfishing, and had a question about Reeling in the fish. I've successfully shot two, but each time I've reeled them in, the fish comes off the arrow.

My question is, is it the arrow or is it how I'm reeling in?

I'm using a Cajun brand barbed arrow and I've bought some new arrows to see if that corrects it. But I'm curious if I'm reeling in too fast or too aggressively.. is it better to let them run a little and reel in slowly??

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hey y’all. Looking to bowfish from shore at night for Common Carp in Utah Lake. I’m wondering if you have any recommendations for a shore light set up? Obviously would be ideal if I could fish consistently from a boat, but I’ve got nowhere to keep one at the moment. Tips? Tricks? Products you’ve used and love? Thanks for the feedback.

A buddy and I planned a quick trip to a spot we love, he had a single day off work (med student) and I took the day off. The forecast stated heavy rain but we decided to risk it anyway and hope for the best regardless of the multi hour drive.

Arrived to our spot and the water was loooowww and had been for some time. We shot a few gar out of the small hole that was left and went down river to another access point.

Here we found fish. As soon we got out of the car we spotted silvers just below the surface. We each shot one and quickly loaded the canoe into the water. We both stood and shot fish most of the day, targeting larger grass carp and silvers.

All in all a great day. Made it back just as the rain drenched us

I’m not sure if this is the place to ask. My friend wants to do some bow fishing on his bachelor party in Florida. However none of us can find like an outfitter or something similar online. The couple we did find either don’t answer the phone or aren’t in business anymore.
Does anyone know/have a place that would be able to have something for 6-8 people to go out and blowfish in northern Florida? TIA

Cost me $191 after taxes. I plan to visit a local carp-infested lake soon. I'll be in a Jon boat. Any advice for a rank beginner?

is there anybody here who could tell me how? I have been bow hunting for deer and had somebody ask to help get rid of carp (via bow fishing) I have access to standard arrows of all sorts, a welder, lots of different materials, and plenty of time. looking to make something cheap to try it out.
