A Float with "Glenbo"...What a Blast!!
« on: July 24, 2011, 04:46:00 PM »
First time we've floated together. Glen floats the river quite a bit fishing, and trying to get in a few bowshots while he's at it.

He's been asking me if I wanted to do a float just to concentrate on bowfishing..this morning we finally did it.

It turned out to be an awesome trip!

Glen was quickly into a fish...
•  
•  
•  

Then I got my first...
•  

And was quickly into another...
•  
•  

The action was better than we even thought it might be...
•  
•  

A lot more to tell and show...

I sure wish that I had a river that looked like that close by. Good job on the fish. Looks like you all had a great time.

Like I said, it far exceeded our expectations....3 more...
•    
•    
•    

Then as we slowly floated, I spotted 2 fish and held off so we could both try to get one, ya know, try to "double up"....

I shot and drilled mine and never even pulled on it so as not to spook the other fish. It never had a clue and Glen drilled it. Two fish on!

Well when I went to start to fight mine it was only a slight pull and then slack!  Mine was off, but Glen landed another fine carp...
•    

When I reeled my line in I realized the reason for losing the fish and our chance at a double. Like a bonehead I'd forgot to tighten my tip after taking the last fish off...the barbs had just flipped right over allowing the fish to escape       :knothead:    

Still more, hang on...

I gotta get me a canoe, since I have a river as my southern property line, tired of walking the bank.

My next one was captured on video...
     

This was getting nuts!
•    

Then I captured Glen's next one on video...
     


Nice to have a lot of opportunities on a day when one is shooting pretty well...
•    
•    

Somehwere in here Glen had landed another fish we didn't get a picture of.

Here he is into another...

*** Note to Charlie(Cyclic-Rivers)....we passed up 2 snapping turtles...we thought of you, but just couldn't bring ourselves to shoot them***

wish we could float the rivers for carp here
most are closed to bow fishing due to being designated trout streams
looks like a great time

As you can see in some of those pix, it started raining a couple times, but that didn't slow things down at all.

Another fine shot by Glen...
•  

Thought some of you might enjoy Glen's tattoo...
•  

Like I said earlier, this trip far exceeded what we thought it would be. but was closed in on the take out point where my truck was parked we didn't want to quit!

 We were still seeing fish and about 10yds short of the take out, I saw another fish heading right at us, then it turned off and was headed away, and pretty far out and probably made my best shot of the day!

As I started to fight mine on the west side of the boat, Glen saw another fish and made a another good shot!

Two fish on!

What an ending to an incredible trip...we got our double just seconds shy of having to quit(you can see my truck in the backround, that is right where it all went down)...
•  

Glen playing photographer, he's a work in progress...   ;)  
•  

Our rig...
•  

Till next time...
•  

Thanx again buddy, it was a blast! Can't wait to do it again!!!!

What an awesome trip!!!  You guys sure seemed to get into the commons.  We're overrun with bigheads and silvers in my neck of the woods so commons are anything but here.  And Glen's tattoo is very cool.  TRW
