I can't wait to hear how this trip went. I really want to do a road trip down to Texas.

I think a bowfishing trip in FL would be awesome too.

Maybe next year we can get a group together?

Glad to hear you had fun. Did you get any pictures? I'd love to put them in the Illinois Bowfishers gallery.

How'd the float work?

oh, and do you have a rest that will fit a left-handed Oneida TC-III? I need something that holds and arrow a bit better than my brass roller rest.

I don't have pics yet I think I will do a short story for the journal If your Tomcat has a ofset riser the DREAM REST will work I shot the spinning reel just aboutall week before the reel gave up I never gotinto a fish thatI needed a float onmaybe next trip. Fred@F&D
