Got two bow fishing trips completed. Not having much luck yet. The water in the White River is flooded, dirty, and covered in pollen. I have not seen much gar activity, and when I do, it is for a split second. We did shoot a few turtles though. I am surprised we have not seen any carp in the shallows yet. Perhaps the water is to cool. Kind of funny how in all my years of bass fishing, I always had a disdain for all the carp and gar. Now that I want to shoot them, they are scarce. I am pretty happy with how the lights work. Got them running off a small Wen inverter generator. It is pretty quiet and hardly uses much gas. Right now I am running with the trolling motor. Once it gets good, I may have to either get a second battery, or rig another electric line and run the charger simultaneously. |

Very nice looking set up. AWESOME looks like a lot of fun. I am hoping I get my gator tag this year, I am going to start scouting just in case. |

I have not forgot to push the button on the reel yet, but did wind up the line in the trolling motor once. What I do with the trolling motor is pull it up to its highest position and ride that way when on the trailer or when running the mud motor. Once I get to where I will fish, I just unscrew, drop down to the depth I want, and run. The trolling motor shaft sticks up a bit high, but so far it works. |

You should start having carp run into the shallows soon. You're both of me a little bit and this past week we've had a pretty heavy shift in fish moving from the main river to the back waters. Carp were thick today, and bass have been moving into the shallows as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Everything I read said that the LED white light has to much of a tendency to reflect off the top of water, especially in tinted or muddier water. They say the yellow light penetrates more down into the water It is pretty muddy where I am. |
