back to earth Posted January 9, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 9, 2017 When I was young, I was out fishing and saw this boat come past , flat bottom aluminium boat and a guy standing at the front looking over the flat front bow with bow and arrow, he was drifting over the shallow sand flats, occasionally he would fire an arrow into the sand and leave it there with the end just above the surface, silently and smoothly draw another and fire that, and just continue drifting quietly along. At the end of the bar he rowed back and pulled the arrows out the sand . each one had pinned a large flat head to the bottom, he had about 5 nice sized ones . Good eating fish too ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules99 Posted January 9, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 9, 2017 There seems to be a potential for near miss injuries to the fish that I dont like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
back to earth Posted January 9, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Seems better than pulling them thrashing through the water with a barbed hook through their mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DanL Posted January 17, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Bow-fishing for rough non-game fish species such as gar and carp is extremely common in most of the southern part of the US. I don't especially approve but then I like to fish for these same rough fish. The problem for me is that in most cases all they do is kill the fish. Often this is done in mass and there is no effort to use the dead fish in any way. They have put a big dent in it in Texas by putting a one fish per day limit on Gar fish. Eventually they will probably do the same for the carp once enough people start to fish for them. At this time carp are mostly seen as an invasive trash species that damages the fishery for other more sought after species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluey Posted January 22, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 22, 2017 The accuracy of archery is quite simple really......great hand eye co-ordination is rather easy.......know if your bow or arrows are straight or not.....then compensate for the wind factor and movement........it's actually quite easy....
