I haven't bowfished since moving to NC, however when I was in Fla we used to bowfish Nile perch(tilpia) it is an absolute blast and a lot of fun - Just hadn't found a spot in Nc - but will start looking into

I used both a compound and a recurve - I utilized some of same tactics - waiting for fish to swin back into beds, stalking through reeds -so it has some similarity to bowhunting but wouldn't consider it as the action is a lot faster paced
