Intracoastal Bowfishing in Florida
Was just wondering if anyone bowfishes any intracoastal areas in Florida or elsewhere and what do you fish for? If so, what method do you use....night time, channels, etc.

RE: Intracoastal Bowfishing in Florida
Flats, Flats, Flats!!!! Sheephead, mullet, and flounder! You really have to read the regulations FL defines gamefish a little different than I expected. Night time is the best, just make sure you have good light! I like mangrove flats personally (good for flounder)! Saltwater bowfishing is chalenging though you really have to know what you are shooting do not want to stick a Red or a Snook by accident![:@] I believe mangrove snapper can be taken with a bow as well. As far as freshwater, I bowfish in deep narrow canals for Talapia (they are very tasty). [8D]
