I' VE BEEN BOWFISHING FOR 3-4 YEARS BUT VERY LIMITED HERE IN ALASKA. ONLY NORTHERN PIKE TILL THIS YEAR WE WILL BE ABLE TO SHOOT WHITEFISH AND SUCKERS...BUT THAT WILL BE A 6-8 HR DRIVE FOR THOSE. PIKE AR FAIRLY CLOSE. HEADING TO MO AND LA. NEXT MONTH TO TRY SOME REAL BOWFISHING I' M REALLY EXCITED. I WOULD RATHER BOWFISH THAN FIGHT THE CROWDS FISHING FOR SALMON.
