One Eye I have bow fished from shore and boat for these carp but not in the spring when they are spawning which I understand is the best time to get them. I usually wrap any fish I don't want in a bag and put it out in the garbage. My wife doesn't want me planting them in the garden as the racoons dig them up. I hear some people chop them up and use the carp for bear bait. I usually fish Lake St Clair and St Johns Marsh with a Retriever reel and a 35lb Pearson Recurve. On the Marsh they are hard to hit because they see you drawing and take off just as you release and on the boat you see them sunning and shoot and the arrow usually goes just over or under them and they take off and you track them down with the trolling motor and maybe get another quick shot. I miss more often then I hit as I don't take the time to practice with my equipment but I did get a head shot last year. If you'd like to go out this year let me know and we can get together and do some spring bowfishing. Yes Tox you can come too but you have to wear your life jacket, bring a permission slip and a hot lunch (for three)from your mom along with you.
