Any carp shooters out there? West Metro

[cherokee]

Just got my 45 pound recurve set up for carp shooting. It has been 25 years since I shot my last carp. Anyways, gonna give it a try again. Just wondering if anybody has been out.

Too cold, water too high with all the rain. Might check the creeks this weekend around my place. As soon as they start running, I'll be ready!

[hillbilly...]

I've got out got 58 and partner has another 50 under his belt. So just gota get out and put water time..Ryan do you shoot from a boat?

[Ryan_V]

hillbilly, I only shoot in creeks, don't have access to a boat

[cherokee]

I'm gonna try and check out some creek mouths and warmer backwater bays this weekend. Hopefully with a little sun they will be up shallow.

[hillbilly...]

Well when you wanta shoot from a boat let me know I'm up around hutch quit abit

[cherokee]

Hillbilly would love to shoot sometime. I have boat as well and some spots near Howard Lake if you ever want to try someplace new. I have land that way so we could do a dump of fish if needed. My folks live in Hutch so we will have to keep in touch.

[Ryan_V]

Would love to hillbilly, keep in touch.

I have found several piles of carp in road ditches. If you don't have a place to put them don't shoot them. You can throw in trash, according CO.

What you got for a boat Cherokee... I got a new boat last fall and not sure how I'm gona set it up. I have to rewire the whole boat I'm not really a fan of having 10 wires going to a terminal

I was out today and found the carp in shallow mucky bay. I missed every single one. I probably shot a couple dozen times. They were really skittish. Water wasn't the cleanest and sun was not shining all the time. Fun time though.

I have a ranger cherokee, great fishing boat, probably not the best carp shooting boat as blood and guts will get everywhere.

I do have an old 14 foot aluminum that I need to register and put a deck on. I might just rig this thing up with lights. Maybe get a 5 horse and trolling motor. This could get expensive LOL

[cherokee]

Ryan, invite open to you as well if ever want to shoot.

[Ryan_V]

Ryan, invite open to you as well if ever want to shoot.

Let me know when you are going! I'm pretty open!

[hillbilly...]

You go out during the week I have a funny schedual. I'll be able to go Thursday after I glue nocks back on all my arrows I broke off

[Jaako93]

I live in Minnetonka MN and I am looking for people to go bowfishing with that have a boat or know where to go on shore if anyone could help that would be awesome! I usually go up North but I know there is a lot bigger fish around here

[cherokee]

Jaako93, let's hit the water one of these days. We could wait for the carp spawn and hit one of the local lakes. Let me know what days you are open. This weekend won't work for me.

[hillbilly...]

I'm open tonight and itchin to do some stickin

[Jaako93]

I work usually 4-7 on Mondays and then Tuesday through Friday I work 1PM to around 11:15-11:30PM I'm free before or after those days. Also available most weekends

[hillbilly...]

Sorry jaako93 I don't give my spots away.. there's already a few cyber scouters on here that are from around my home town.... only time they talk to me is to find where the birds and fish are.. when I do get my boat setup I'll let you know. I do have another boat that is setup that I'm selling

[cherokee]

I was all set to go fishing/bowfishing opener and as I left the driveway noticed low tire warning on. Pulled back in driveway, unhooked boat and discovered nail in tire. So much for that.

In a week or two any lake you go to will have carp all over the shallows spawning. The hard part is getting out there

Saw some active carp in the shallows on Tonka today.

[cherokee]

Hillbilly, lol, it was a really long nail

[Jaako93]

okay yeah just let me know. I really just want to go out and have a good time shooting some fish!

[Jameson]

If there are any carp shooters out in the west metro and you can get on Tonka find an inlet from a nearby wetland. The one near Crescent Beach is flowing strong with schools and schools of carp out in front/side of it. Probably can't be shooting carp there since it is next to a beach, but find some place like it.
