Fox River bowfishing
 

Went floatin down the Fox today. Was using my buddy's canoe.I launched at Silver Springs and went down about a mile or so. I only got these 2, missed 4 that I should've had, and only saw maybe a dozen altogether.

The smaller one was full of eggs, so I guess they're getting ready to spawn. Can't wait to see what Hennepin looks like. One week to go!!

Very cool! If you want to do a float trip through Montgomery/Oswego this weekend let me know. I've got a canoe that needs some carp slime in it. :D

RE: Fox River bowfishing
 

That sounds like a plan! Give me a call. Can't have too much carp-slime in your canoe.

RE: Fox River bowfishing
 

Nice job Steve. Nice canoe too! ;)

Jason, is your shoot on the Fox on the 10th open to UBIee's only?

RE: Fox River bowfishing
 

The UBI regional events are for everyone. They are meant to be a way that non-(UBI)members can see what a wonderful bunch of misfits we are. :D So unless Jason has other plans for this event, It is open to all. Hope to see ya'll there.:)

RE: Fox River bowfishing
 

Christine,

Like Kendall said...it's open to whomever want to attend. I trust you and Kendall will be heading up here for the day?

RE: Fox River bowfishing
 

Which "10th" are we talking about here?

I make pretty good canoe ballast. :D

RE: Fox River bowfishing
 

Hey Bulzeye, maybe you, JRW and I should have a
canoe-a-carp-a-shoot-a-thon. I can borrow a canoe from my neighbor. JRW's got one. I have what's-her-name's. We can pick a stretch of the Fox and go. I think this canoe has too much ballast as it is.

June 10th.

Here's a link to the particulars.

The spare seat in my canoe's already taken for the June 10th event. I've arranged for rentals for anyone who needs to do so. Hopefully you guys can make it.

Regardless, any time you want to do a float trip down the Fox just let me know. The stretch between Montgomery and Oswego is absolutely perfect.

Canoe bowfishing sounds risky to me...lol but may be just he adventure im looking for ha ha well done Steve .........

RE: Fox River bowfishing
 

Looks like a nice event Jason.
Just about my speed too, relaxing canoe ride with wading and shore bowfishing.

I'd like to go, but I'll need to do some negotiating at home since I'll be gone the weekend beforeto the Illinois Bowfishers shoot at Lake Evergreen and helping out withour booth at the Lake-Fest Days event.

I'll let you know a bit closer to the event. Thanks for the offer Bowman.

RE: Fox River bowfishing
 

I think Kendall and I will try to make it up there.

Might crash at Steve and Dina's the night before, watch some carp-snuffing videos and tell tall tales of bowfishing adventure. :D

RE: Fox River bowfishing
 

Or we'll just eat their food and crash....:D:D:D

Really, thanks for the offer Steve and (does Dina know about this yet) Dina.

RE: Fox River bowfishing
 

Yes, Dina knows, and says (btw) don't expect herto come downstairs and watch the videos with us!

You guys are more than welcome. I just figured it would be alot easier on you to come up the night before instead of leaving super early the morning of. We have plenty of room, and I make a pretty good country-breakfast.
