Default boat vs. bank

Took the boat out Monday for the first dedicated bowfishing trip, went out first thing in the morning so no lights, had quite a few shots between two of us but we didn't connect. To be honest i thought we'd see a few more fish than we did, but the water was a little murky from some rain last week. So i'm wondering if its worth the trouble of taking the boat to bowfish. If I had fished from the bank for the 8 or so hours we were out, i could've cleaned up, comparatively speaking. But we lost the trolling battery after about 6 hours, so things were difficult after that. Want to try a few different places before i get too discouraged. I Also wouldn't mind goin at night, this would be key as the fish are more active, Right? All the fish we shot at were on the bank or in 1 to 2 feet of water at the back of coves. Is it worth the extra effort? Hit me up with some tips, I'm a newbie.
