 Trolling while bowfishing
Do ya'll use the trolling motor while bowfishing or just ease around with the big motor??? I just ease around with the big motor but have seen pictures of boats with the trolling motor so you can troll and shoot. Does it matter?

 Re: Trolling while bowfishing
Most around us use a trolling motor to steer and shoot. If we get into areas that are too thick for the troller someone will drive the big motor.

 Re: Trolling while bowfishing
Use my troller till it breaks or I get tired running it. Sometimes I just use big motor when I take new people

 Re: Trolling while bowfishing
I'm not a fan of using the trolling motor but the niqqers who go with me won't drive so I have to run the tm so I can shoot

 Re: Trolling while bowfishing
I usually get stuck driving all night because my friends are lil scared bitches. I can't see a tm being very practical

 Re: Trolling while bowfishing
We shoot sometimes 250 fish a night on a troller can't imagine it being impractical. But a pusher fan works better
