we have a dock that extends about 12 yards into the water and i know there is big catfish in there but im tryin to chum them and the turtles up tu the dock so i can have a good catfish dinner.ive had catfish up to the dock before but they take weeks to get up to the dock.
Im so anxeous to get my first bow fishing kill.

pse nova
blackhawk aluminum arrows
goldentouch release
pse sights
3 inch groups at 25 yds.

for bowfishing i use a johnson thumb cast reel zip-tied onto the stablizer.
50 pnd test line
homemade fishing arrow and points
all of it seems to be working in order.

Just go to the store and get containers of chicken livers. Their cheep and the blood brings them in.

Go to the local feed store and buy a 50lb. bag of floating fish food. Should be 10-12 dollars. I feed mine every day with this. About half of a coffee can. Another hint, rap on the legs of your dock right before you feed and eventually they will recognize the sound and come right away.
