 Bow Fishing - The equipment worksGot 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.

Re: Bow Fishing - The equipment works 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.

Re: Bow Fishing - The equipment works Have you forgot to push the button on your reel yet?

Re: Bow Fishing - The equipment works got any more pics of how your troller folds up through your light rail?

Re: Bow Fishing - The equipment works 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. _________________ Uncle J 18x54 Gator Tail XD 37 EFI -Delta Performance Level 3 |

Re: Bow Fishing - The equipment 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.

Re: Bow Fishing - The equipment works 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. _________________ Uncle J 18x54 Gator Tail XD 37 EFI -Delta Performance Level 3 |
