Took a trip on Saturday to check out one of my Missouri bowfishing spots that was hit hard by last weeks heavy rains and flooding. Even after a week of drying out the area is still in pretty bad shape. I used this gravel road to launch the boat.
This is my layout/marsh boat I use for waterfowl hunting. The boat fits in the bed of the pickup and is easily handled by one person. It's also very stable for its size. Works great for shallow water areas.
I didn't find many carp but the area had good numbers of small gar most between 12-24 inches long. They make for small targets but I was able to connect enough to keep me happy for a few hours.
Bowfishing is definitely my favorite archery summer time activity. I can spend all day in 100 degree heat shooting fish but would only last 20 minutes on the target range. It's just fun!
