Grass carp are very good. We don't shoot very many tho'. I think all of last year we only got one to the boat. (I got a bunch of grass carp scales on my arrows but that's it) [&:]

RE: bowfishing kit?
 

Welcome Joe. Where you from exactly?

Got a boat?

What kind of bow do you shoot?

Sorry; I'm kinda nosy.


Hey Moss, you should get in touch with your state's/area's department that handles resource management. They'll tell you where it's legal to bowfish and where it's not. In Illinois we have a Fishing Digest that lists all the dos and don'ts for fishing, including lake-specific information.

Hope this helps.

Its ok. I am from Donnelsville. I have a Martin Warthog with an AMS retriver on it. I go with a couple buddies that have their own boats (one is a 16' deepvee and the other is a 15' flat bottom (my favorite)) and we fish Indian Lake in logan county and the CJ Brown resivor in Springfield.

Welcome Joe.
Moss, How far are you from the Ohio river?

RE: bowfishing kit?
 

well i live in southwest ohio. i live 30 minutes from cincinnati if my pops is driving and 45 if my mom's driving........so i live pretty close to it

RE: bowfishing kit?
 

Yep, that's close enough I'd be stopping by the Montgomery Inn for a rack of ribs. MMMmmmmm.

OK back to bowfishing...:D The Ohio River has anything and everything you can legally shoot. If you need something closer look for tributaries (streams that feed) the river. As far as lakes, ponds and other impoundments you'll have to check your state regulations for that.

Before you go anywhere check the regulations and please have a plan for what you will do with the fish. Thanks.

Have fun, Be safe and post pictures. We all like to see and hear how you did.
