Not the best time of year right now. Later in the spring, Feb-May you will be able to shoot a lot of carp and gar in the shallows. People shoot a lot of Tilapia, great to eat btw, but I think most of them shoot at night. Give it a few months and you won't be disappointed.

Any of the public lakes in Texas are a good choice. They are all full of carp and gar. In the spring when they start to spawn they will be in shallow water next to the bank. They will be everywhere, I wouldn't look in anything over 3ft deep. Get a GOOD pair of polarized glasses and you will be set. Do a google search on TX bowfishing, there are some good web sites to look at.
