Pretty much, if it floats you can bowfish from it.


OK this may be pushing it but....

Yes, what Carpsniper said. I've pretty much lived by that.

When there's a will, there's a way!

This is my little boat. It can't hold much weight and is only big enough for one person, but can bring in the fish.

Have you ever figured out a way to night fish from the green bobber? I have a 14' canoe with outriggers and a trolling motor. I have been pretty discouraged with the daytime shooting since the end of the spawn. Any suggestions?

Not yet David. I only got the boat last fall... at a garage sale.
With the hull being made of plastic, I don't want to drill into it to mount anything, so all the gear would have to just sit on top somehow, and deck space is pretty scarce as it is.

I've played with the idea of adding a second battery and clamping on some DC lights up front, but I don't thinkit's worth the trouble. Definitely no space or weight capacity for a generator or anything big.
