I am new to bowfishing and i just got my gear a few weeks ago. I am looking for some spots to go bowfihshing for carp in my area. If anybody has any ideal spots near Elk River please let me know. Thanks.

I was going to say the Crow near St. Michael is good. I would also guess with a little searching one could find some good culverts and such in "The Refuge". The St. Francis river and Elk River I am sure would also be good; it would just take a little time to discover the right spots. Good Luck. If you have a boat and are will to drive a little go to Little Rock Lake north of St Cloud. There are tons of carp and lots of shallow slow moving water.

Good Luck

I am a catfisher man up in this area and hit from shore weekly. I know of one great spot, but can not tell location due to it being right at my prime cat spot (no one ever fish's there). To get to the point, during fishing one tends to watch sky, birds and mostly the water. In this one spot the current eddies right along shore and a large amount of foam builds up in this area. I never see them when I go down to spot, but right before sunset (I would say half hour to about 45 minutes) they pop their mouths up and there are a ton of them. This occurs feet from shore and only at this time. Sure one might see one or two before this, right before sun down. You also have to sneak up on them. Knock a rock together with your feet or talk and they all jump at once. It takes about 5-10 minutes before they are back. This happens every time I am down there and you could almost set your watch by the time of their arrival.

I know this is not the only spot that this occurs at, so I think with a little investigating and hitting it at the right time you will find many spots like this. You could get a great shore shot from Mississippi's water edge. Oh by the way, this occurs on the Mississippi.

Good luck!!!!

Little Rock is always a little dirty and green. That being said, there are boat loads of carp in the lake and the numbers really make up for the lack of visibility. On any given Saturday there are usually 4 or 5 boats on the lake with shooters. I personally like the shallow bay west of the rock pile.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
