Occasioanlly, when I only have an hour or so, I go to a local creek and shoot off the bank, heck I've shot off the bridge before, under the bridge, etc.

The banks are high about 10 feet, and you can get a good look down into the water...

Just wondered if there are any other bank creepers out there?

That's how I do most of my bowfishing.

I walk the bank alot. I still don't have my boat set up, so I'm shore-bound. But I've shot alot of carp walking the bank and wading.

Get em however you can. ; )

Yep, I have a nice creek that I shoot at. It has fairly high banks 6 feet or so. I have found that I aim where i think and then add a foot usually works.

Well, I'm creepy and I shoot from the bank, so I guess I count.

Up here by the big city it's tougher to find spots where the law lets you walk the shore with a bow, but there are still places if you look hard enough.

I prefer to wade or use my tiny 8ft boat, but bank shooting was all I did for my first 20 years or so. Like you, I still do it when time is short, or when the bottommakes ittoo dangerous for wading.

When they're spawning, I prefer to walk the bank.I wear my waders so when the brush on the bank gets thick,I can wade out a few feet and then move back to the bank.

When they're not spawning, bank walking isless productive.

Very true. Wanna boat during the off-season.

I am one of those bank crawlers also.... dont have a boat.
Nothing like the Spot And Stalk ya can put on them from the Bank[8D]

Great responses... I guess we are so few and far between, that other than going to a shoot, we just get all our favorite spots for bank creepin to ourselves.

One of my favorite shoots was one on the Hennepin canal. All bank-shooting. No boats. Spot and stalk is alot of fun. You're really hunting that way.
