we fished at night last sunday, dave randolph and i and two fellas from bloomington. a lil rough but we boatd four and got at least twenty shots. i think the carp go to back of coves at night or go a lil deeper. so i think my answer will be is bowfishing on clinton at night a waste of time, absolutly not. we seem to see bigger fish at night and more buffalo. if you know where to go and have some clarity i think it can be as good as the day half the time.
