yea i'm looking at getting into it this year any advice on equipment would be great not lookin to get to fancy just looking to have fun what type reel do you use? what type arrow?what kind of draw weight are you pulling? sry i'm a newbie but i think it'll be a blast... o yea what are the dates for bow fishing? are there any rule or regs cause i can't find them in the book

[Scott Stein]

go w/ the AMS reel ($75-$80)its the bottle type so when you shoot you dont have to worry about a reel getting tangled while its unwinding,i have a muzzy bowfishing arrow ($20) and im usin a Hoyt MTSPORT at 56# draw weight

[Ralph Wiggum]

I agree on the bottle reel. I've got an ancient compound with a 35# draw. Sometimes I wish it had a little more power, but a light draw is nice. You can shoot a lot without your arm getting sore. I would not use a good bow. Buy a cheap one. They get dirty and beat up, plus you don't really want sights on it.

[Ralph Wiggum]

I'll second that! If I could find a good spot, I'd give it a go right now.

i bet you could find cheaper ones on the internet

[LOTWSvirgin]

I bring them to the Rabis sp? They cook them I dont now how they do it but it is pretty good. I cant wait for the river to open so I can get shooting

[benbosh]

its a blast especially when they're so thick ya get two carp in one shot. then comes the fun part trying to untangle them while there flopping around and your cussing up a storm
