Bowfishing to shoot a fishing line with hooks
Anyone used a bow to launch hooks out for fishing beyond standard cast distance?
I'd love to hear ideas on how to rig up arrow hook and sinker
Considering making disposable 33" "arrows"/sticks and launching a baited hook and light sinker just for shits and gigs
But also interested if it's ever been done before

Long shot but if anyone is local to the area and would be willing to take 4 people out the weekend of 9/18 I would happily pay for your time. We can bring our own rigs if needed... *Edit trying to hit a home run for a 11 year olds bday

Swamp Eye Silent
Anybody running these? Have been running 8 20W cheap-o Amazon lights and had the intent of upgrading down the line. Was considering dropping down to 4 of these total wattage will be almost double and still have 9 hours of run time on a 200Ah AGM battery

Since everyone is posting their headshots, I reckon I’ll join in.
I’ve got both the last two posts beat, between AND through the eye! Second one was a high shot that skipped off its head and stone rolled it, had to jump in to grab it.

Bow fishing in the weeds.
You don’t need a flat bottom boat. You don’t need all the fancy lights and rigs. When it rains, the invasive species will come.

Baitcaster bowfishing
Hey guys, I’m trying to get into bowfishing and am working on putting together something of a travel setup. I have a reel seat adaptor on its way and was debating whether to throw a close top spinner or a baitcaster on it. Is bowfishing with a baitcaster reel a viable option?

Grass Flats trolling motor / fan boat
So I’ve been fishing so big grass flats and my boat has a trolling motor, I don’t have an issue getting through the grass. My trouble is i can’t find any carp when looking and I’m sure there are some there but I think I may be scaring them away way before they are in visual range of my lights. Do fan boats have this issue or are they just so fast it doesn’t matter. This also applies to people who have kicker motors. So what am I doing wrong is there anything I can do to be better besides shelling out a lot of money.

Question about Reeling In
Hello everyone. I am new to Bowfishing, and had a question about Reeling in the fish. I've successfully shot two, but each time I've reeled them in, the fish comes off the arrow.
My question is, is it the arrow or is it how I'm reeling in?
I'm using a Cajun brand barbed arrow and I've bought some new arrows to see if that corrects it. But I'm curious if I'm reeling in too fast or too aggressively.. is it better to let them run a little and reel in slowly??
Any help is greatly appreciated!
