Has anyone been doing any bowfishing latley? I went out Saturday with a friend and we only shot one. I missed a few! I'm ready for the rain to slow down so the river will go down. Then watch out, it'll be time to shot some carp.

I went before turkey season but didn't see a fish. I'm hoping to have better luck this weekend.

Sportsmanslodge1,
How do you like that PSE recurve for bowfishing? I have been looking into getting one, but was concerned on how easily I could shoot it out of a boat, being that is 60" long.

It's ok. I purchased it because it was cheap. I haven't shot it from a boat or platform yet. I did "notice" the length a couple times this weekend while we were wading. It was more cumbersome than a shorter bow. I don't think you can beat it for the money as far as new bows go.

Nice carp, I'm going to guess that it was in the 16 lb. range.

Does the Sportsmans Lodge have a web site? Are they still having the contest? Entry fee? I would like some info if you can. 16#14oz. was the weight of that carp.

No turpie, we don't have a website. The contest is basically a local thing. The fish must be weighed at the store in Decatur. We are running a largest fish contest for the months of May, June, and July. We split the entry fee money with the winner each month. Entry fee is 10/ month or 20 for all three. Largest fish this month so far is 8.25 lbs.

You need to stop by and pre-register. We are located just west of 27 on Patterson Street. If you take 27 into Decatur until you cross the railroad tracks then make a right on Patterson St. We are located about 1/8 mile west of that intersection on the left hand side of Patterson street. Our hours of operation are Mon-Fri 10am-9pm and Sat 8am-4pm. We will be open 10am-4pm on Memorial Day.

Nice fish! I don't see your name on the Bowfishing contest entry for yet! It looks like an eight pounder is going to win for May unless someone brings something in today! Stop by and get signed up. There are two months left.
