Anybody into bowfishing with their recurve/longbow?

I like to go in the shallows with a canoe with my recurve. I keep the shots close and in water less than 2' deep. That way I don't need a string on my arrow.

Heck yea Proline, I love it! But I never tried it out of a canoe, I tried standing up in one of those once & well, nevermind...but I had a lil "runabout" till a couple years ago & got into a bunch of fish every Spring. I haven't got as much shootin in since I sold it, but stalkin em from the bank is great fun too! I always wanted a big old 'gator'gar, shot (missed more) nuthin but small ones so far...if anyone hasn't tried this they're missing out on "boatloads" of fun!!

One of the greatest highs that I have gotten shooting traditional equipment.
It is great seeing that arrow slice through the water when it is sticking out of a 20 lb. carp.

Almost as good as buck hunting. I live for the spring spawn when they have their backs out of the water. They are in the "Rut" then!

Haven't done it in a while; just don't like the mess. Bowfishing is what got me into traditional archery. I was shooting an Oneida Eagle compound, rigged up an old recurve for bowfishing and found out how much more fun the recurve was to shoot and switched.

What do y'all do w/the "trashfish" after ya get em in? I used to give em away, but donno anybody that'd take em now. Seems like a waste to just leave em laying on the bank...

Planting them works excellent on the veggies.

I have a 17 foot Cedar Maine Guide cannoe that is perfect for standing up in and drifting over unsuspecting fish. My 18 foot Lund Alaskan with an electric motor works better because I can quietly follow the carp in the shallows as you can see him before he sees you. I'm starting to get the itch to go fishing again.

Chessbum, I am going to have to meet you some time. I just opened an office for the company I work for in Washington I didnt realize where it was until now. I live in Hartland about an hour down M59 from you.
As far as planting them goes do you all cut them up into pieces or place them in the ground a an entire fish. How deep do you put them?
