Night Carpin question?

[Avid Angler]

I have noticed some people out doing some bow fishing for carp at night this spring. I am curious if anybody knows how successful these guys are at it. I was wondering how many fish they can get in an outing?

I want to thank those people for doing it. I hope they are getting a mess of them. I know we will never eliminate them completely, but it would be nice to keep the population in check.

It's awesome! When it's good you can shoot carp as fast as you can fling an arrow, reel it in, remove the fish, knock, draw, and refling! Carp under the lights at night tend to much "dumber" than they are during the day.

I go once a week or so with some friends. Ive been out on a "slow" night and left the lake with 12-15 and only taken "bigger fish." one of us 3 will only draw the bow for a fish over 30 on a particular night.

I shot a tourney last sat night and it improves by 100% shooting at night you see alot more and nice and close. 32 boats we filled a 20 foot long by 5 foot deep dumpster 3/4's full. The top boats shot over 200 fish.

200+ a night now that's what I call action.I think I just found my new project for my boat. Lights plat form. Time to find a welder.

What do you do with all them carp

[Wanderer]

Eat what you can. Find a farmer who'll take them. Mink farmers like em. Toss em in the trash. Just don't leave them on the shore, toss em in a ditch or put em back after you pull the arrow out.

Just figure it out before the shoot. It's just good to get em out of the lakes and rivers.

It's a blast I've personally shot over 1200 lbs of fish in one night

[Derek Vos]

These are bigmouth buffalo. These hogs weigh an average of 20-25 lbs, with a bunch in the 30s and there is 60+ in the boat on this trip! I had to stop because my boat was starting to sink!

Now that's a pile!!
