Georgetown lake
 

Took ole Snuffy out to Georgetown Lake this afternoon. Actually it is more like a wide river. Water was cloudy and as you all know who was out side today, very windy. We did manage to wack 12 common 6 apiece, plus 2 pull off's each. I was using my new carbon/fiberglass arrow with a stingray head. They have nice wide barbs, but sure do twist off easy. I lost both of my fish, cause during the fight process they were able to twist and the barbs reversed. I had they tight too. With my muzzy'z and penetrators points I put teflon tape on the treads to keep them tight and from rusting. Works pretty well. These Stingray heads do not come apart, so you cannot get to the treads. I know they would be a problem with big heads. At least sure does look like it..

Glad you guys got some.
I hate the wind for bowfishing too.
Can't hit what you can't see.

I have the same spin-off problem with my stingray points. I'm having good luck with them on the soft fish like buffalo because the barbs are so flat and wide.

I use them when wading and minimize the pull off potential by walking up to the fish as I reel instead of fighting him back to me. When I get there, I grab the arrow and jam it into the bottom so the point is no longer a factor. Then I just sling my recurve over my shoulder and grab the arrow's shaft with one hand on each sideof the fish until I get him on the stringer or to shore.

Hey John i wouldnt be too disappointed with 12 for that place as everytime we go there its just terrible water conditions you guys did well....

Nice job Johnny and snuffy, that water can be tough to shoot since it is so muddy so much of the time. Did you get a few off the sand (mud) bar just north of the train tressel? That's a real good day, did you see any buffs?

Actually we shot one or two in the coves below the trussel. But go most of them Above the trussle in the coves up above. Did not see a single buff. Boy did we see some puff's. There is a lot of carp. And actually were pretty good sized. Most around 6#.
