Default flood water fun for carp

So....who is going to take advantage of some spring bowfishing?? its been ALONG time since i did any of that and it used to be so dam fun I was thinking of getting one of my recurves back out, blowing off the dust, screwing on the old fred bear fishing spool and going at it got new braided line on it and a new fiberglass arrow. My area is very flooded in spots, and i have seen carp tails swirling around, might just take advantage of it on the next days off. anyone else?

I usually start going full swing after turkey season.

Turkeys have my heart and any daylight time Im not working or at school, usually pertains to turkeys during the spring.

If you want to find me this summer though, Ill be one of two places. On my JD mower or my new boat, bowfishing or trout fishing. Got a new fly rod this year and cant wait to give that whole thing a try.

Or YOU could just stick you hands in the water and use those enourmous fingers of yours like a seine net and probably catch a 20 pounder!

I may start early this year, usually I start in June.

Fish are one of my favorite thing to hunt, with bow.
