Anyone getting excited?

[CLOUD 9, MN]

Its alittle early, but last year I got the bug really bad Jan 1 (once the bowhunting was closed) I've been starting to think about it this week, I'm going to get a new rig this year. I may have to plan a early trip outstate. Minnesota's bowfishing season opens May 1.

Good Luck!

# months till Im back on the water. But Ill be adding extra lights and working on the boat. Going to do some florida bowfishing in Feb, too.

Yeah, here in IL, the Archery-deer season goes through mid January, so that's my focus right now.
I'm hoping to get some new gear for Christmas, and then I can get back to it.

Hey, when does bowfishing open around here in IL?
Is it all year around?
Before I hooked up here, I'd only done it in the Spring.

I'm wanting to try bowfishing this year. Luckily we can bowfish year round down here. I bought a airboat the other day and when I finally get enough time off work to get it running I would like to take it out and give it a try. I'll probably buy a cheap recurve to use instead of my compound. What would be the best weight to get for bowfishing? We have a lot of carp and alligator gar we can shoot down here. I've seen the gar over 5' long here before so that would really be fun to try and get.
