Did I say corrupted?? I meant introduced.

We took out another bowfishing newbie last weekend. (another HuntingNet staffer no less... slowly but surely I will corrup....er... introduce them all to bowfishing.)

We hit the Kankakee River in Wilmington IL in the early am. We might have gotten there a bit sooner if our newbie 'Lucky' Lance hadn't gotten a speeding ticket on the way to our house. 48mph in a 40mph zone. (who gets a ticket for 8 over in IL???) Sheesh.

Anyhow, we knew that Lance was okay when we unfurled the Jolly Roger on the boat and he didn't bail. He didn't even seem too worried that our 18hp motor seemed to be missing at least 9 of it's horses.

Lance quickly learned the secret skill and technique of successful bowfishers...... otherwise known as....'Put a lot of arrows into the water'.

E.J.D. had hit the waters before sun-up and scored on several fish under the boat lights. He then picked up Banana-Bulzeye who apparently can't shoot straight with us pirates around. He walked the shore after we left and managed to redeem himself by landing two carp. (or so he says.... I say show me the pictures... )

The Carp Control boat ended the morning with 4 carp. Which wasn't too bad considering a cold front had pushed most of the fish deep. One person didn't boat a fish.... but we won't name names... right Jeremy?

Amazingly the motor managed to get us all the way back to the launch but I think we drowned two more ponies in the process. [:@]


Arrrrr!

Yea woohoo!!!! Bow fishing is alot of fun i haven't done it in a long time nothing like sticking a 6 foot long alligator gar. LOL was pulling me and my jon boat all over the place that fish had more pony's then my 30 lbs thrust trolling motor i couldnt catch up fast enough to reel in the slack.

Be nice AV.

I got pics of those 2 carp, and the 4 more I got at the same spot Tuesday morning.
I just can't post 'em cuz my home computer is as dead as your motor. [>:]

I can post text from work, but can't install the software here to download the pics from my camera.
...and I'm not about to go to Walmart and pay for a whole CD with only 2 pics on it just to satisfy a pirate.
You're just going to have to wait to see them.

Got to get me some waders. There are buffalo all over that area, just out of range from the shore, of course.

Highdesert.....hows the bowfishing in Az.? I hear theres some great tilapia shooting out there.

Good Job! Keep getting people involved!

Thanks!

EJD

I look forward to the next outing.

Lance

We had fun having you on board Lance. (even if you and Jeremy talked me into eating at the cracker barrel [:'(] )

You going to the shoot on the 28th?

BTW, what's with the 'admin' for a handle. Sheesh that's even less creative than HNIJeremy or E.J.D.. ....snicker....

Yeah, c'mon man, pick out the name of a deadly mushroom, and get with it.

Bulzeye ('naner-boy) just sent me some photos to post.

He says these are the carp that he shot out on the Kank. I dunno.... I see some dead fish and a nice looking dog.

For all I know the dog shot the carp.

Heh heh heh...
