Pike County eh? Take me deer hunting and I'll get you all set-up for bowfishing.

Seriously, tho'. You can get set-up pretty inexpensively if you already have a bow.

I'd start with a retriever reel (most foolproof). They cost about 60.00.
Or you can start with a spincast and a reel-seat. (cheaper to start with, more expensive in the long run (in my-not-so-humble-opinion))

Get at least twodecent bowfishing arrows.They're about 10 bucks each. (depending, of course, on where you buy them)

Here are some places to look for equipment if your local archery shop doesn't carry bowfishing stuff. (and if they don't, tell them they should)

There are more online dealers out there, those are just the ones I could think of at this very moment.
