Michigan has a good bowfishing club, its called BAM. Check them out. Your question about fishing and bowfishing....some states don't allow both at the same time. Very often I go out bow fishing plaster a bunch of dogfish and carp and make notes on spots with lots of bass or big sunnies on beds. Then we go back and clean house! You can really learn alot about fish while bowfishing!

Once you start, you can't stop!

Good Luck!
