Post 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?

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.

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

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

Up here we use trolling when shooting the Asian carp because they are very skittish
Even normal talking will make them bust
Damn big heads are weary animals

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