bowfishing..

I used to bowfish a lot.  There's always a magic 3 or 4 days in the spring when the carp spawn.  I used to live for that time and shoot until my fingers couldn't handle the string anymore.  I still have the stuff but it's been a few years since I've done it.  I do like the idea of going after Tilapia, one of my wife's favorite eating fish.  Pete, can you tell us more about the how and when of that?  Sure wish I hadn't sold my boat before moving down here now.  Longview's about 2 hours from me, probably a little less for Aero.  I didn't post the question, but I'd be interested in doing some bowfishing too.

I tried once witha homemade crossbow, i attached some  string to the base of the bolt and had a shoot in some pristine S.Africa waters, didn't get anything but it was great fun!

PeteC:
It's just about that time. ;) I'll pig hunt a few more weeks,then it'll be fish huntin'. I hunt tilapia during the daytime,mostly wading,or,  hunting off steep banks. Bright sunshine,little or no wind,and spawning fish make for great spot and stalk huntin'. It's just like any still hunting. Move very little,very slow when you do move,and watch spawning beds and cruising fish. Tilapia have a way of appearing right under your nose and if you're not already to full draw,the fish is history. It's great sport and fine eating. God Bless

gstoneberg:
Pete, we have got to get together to chase fish!  I'll trade a hog hunt at the deer lease. ;)  Course, you have hogs over there so there's not much incentive there.  O well.

George,We'll  be doing a scouting trip in a few weeks.If the fish are there,maybe you can meet my son-in -law and I down there for a dayhunt. I'll keep you posted. God bless
