Any Bowfishing experts here?

By expert I mean if you have been once then you have more experience than I do. Gonna give it a try and looking for any advice I can get. Especially stuff like what type areas of the lakes rivers and creeks you target? I'm close to Mitchell, Jordan and Hatchet Creek so any experience with these would also be greatly appreciated.

shallow weedy areas. the carp spawned about 3 or 4 weeks ago but they can still be found in the shallows.

Ok thanks gonna try it out tonight

make sure you post pics of the results POWPOW.

aim low and if they are swimming dont stop swinging on them. imagine shooting a dove with a shotgun

Bass are easy to shoot with a bownarow

I shot fish in the daylight everyday...good pair of polarized sunglasses an thowdown...you aint gotta do it at night as id rather shoot fish when the sun is high an your glasses are most effective.

Are you shooting out of a boat or will you be wading/bank walking? I've been bowfishing the coosa/elmore/montgomery area for about 12 years now. Shoot me a PM and I'll give you some pointers, but I won't tell you my spots

Boat, I don't need GPS coordinates just detailed directions

Well I found a good spot last night. Stuck a big ole carp and he got wrapped around the trolling motor as I was getting him up to the boat. Sucker got off . Thought he was about to break the arrow when he had it bent around the trolling motor shaft. I'll have my net handy next time. He would have went 30lbs or more

hay hook from tractor supply. sharpen it to a needle point on the bench grinder

I'll do that, thanks
