Best time by far is the spawn. It usually happens late April, throughout May.

I start as soon as I can get on the water after hunting season is over. Usually start to see fish in mid-March.

I don't think it is too early. Anytime you are on the water is a good time.

Bowfishing is real fun. Its a good alternative when duck hunting is not going on. Its a whole lot better than just regular fishing much much bigger fish
