Anyone like "fish sticks"???!!!

[fireman_3311]

Decided to head out this evening for a little fish stickin!!! Hit a couple of holes, in a local conservation area, along the Mo River. Don't have any flood water here close...YET, but I did see some north of here about an hour, around Chillicothe, Mo! I ended up with 5 dead fish...3 common carp, one nice buffalo, and one skinny gar! Stringer weighed over 25#, without the gar! Big fish was 7.6#.

53# Black Widow MAII...same bow I use for EVERYTHING!!!
Muzzy fish arrow and Muzzy Gar point
AMS Retriever reel with Muzzy line
AMS safety slide
Cheap $10 polarized fishin glasses!!!

Buffalo was 6.2#

 

Skinny targets are harder to hit!!!

There's a fun way to spend some time. Good shooting. We need more bowfishing threads.

Hey...  a gar fish!!  I have been wanting to get a hold of a jaw (with teeth) from one of those little buggers.  Could I convince you to spare a gar jaw for me.  I am not sure if it would be best to send it raw and frozen or to clean it up a bit and dry it.  I would be willing ot compensate you if I can.

Very nice. I wish the water level in the local river would drop so I could get out and introduce some fiberglass to a few carp.

Find some flood water...Have heard a ton of reports of folks killin fish all over central Mo!!! I'm headed to Eagle Bluff's C.A. tomorrow afternoon, if'n the big crik isn't too high...lol

[Old Stickbow]

So is Carp good eating, always heard them were trash fish (no offence). I pass on carp all the time because I don't want to waste the meat (no eat - no kill rule in effect)

I guess whatever works best/easiest for you.  I will take them either way. I mainly need the jawbone with the teeth in it.  I am doing a lecture for the State Historical Society (Wisconsin) in July on tattoos of the fur trade. I have a few historical references to gar teeth being used for the "needles" and I would like to have one to show the crowd.

I will be out of town for the weekend, but if you email me, [email protected] ,  we can discuss a trade when I get back.
