I wanna do some bowfishing one of these years.  That looks like serious fun.


If any Montana boys need a deckhand over at Canyon Ferry in a couple weeks, I'm available  :D

I was over at canyon ferry 2 summers ago in August and the carp shooting was great. I tagged around 20 in 2 hours. My friends from MT told me it was horrible fishing and I should be there during carp safari. The winning team the prior year had over 600 fish I believe! They said to challenge themselves during the spawn they try to arrow 3 with one shot.


Nice shooting Izzy!  I made up a bracket for 2 mini mag lights, each putting out close to 240 lumens. It rocks for night fishing.

We had one good day, I took Joe and his buddy out. Those two shot them up good, the old man just pushed the boat around, although I did sneak in a couple shots   :bigsmyl:

Greg Looks like you guys had a  good trip the other night.  Glad the water died down and the storm were past before you went out!

We had a similar night last night.

I managed my first Gold Fish, First Sucker and second Mirror Carp.

Some of the females were full of eggs, I figure the spawn will be coming quick.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Got out last weekend by myself. Tough conditions with high water and wind. I did manage to pick off two of three

 


 

 I call this spot "Cade's Cove". He shot a real slob of a Carp two years ago. A monsters for this area.
 
 This weekend I got out with my friend Timmy C.

 

I ended up two for three, Timmy also killed one

 

 An awesome morning on the river. We saw deer, massive snapping turtles ,and found a Bald Eagles nest. The river was like glass. Maybe Curt can post a pic of Guru 2 s Carp

Nice fishing fellas, congrats. I killed one more tonight and was feeling good after going 4 for 4 with the Montana. I then went and missed the next 3 shots. Later on in the yard I was all over the place shooting my block target. Time to start slinging some flies and give the bow a few days rest.

After spending the all nighter fishing, I went to a 3D shoot at 8, then afterward I walked the dogs before hitting the canal with my Buddy Aaron.

We managed to kill 4.  they were out but just basking, most to far to shoot at from Shore.

I'm pooped but feel pretty darn satisfied.

 
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Glen, I remember that Cove.  Casey almost had his first in there but had to sit down quickly unexpectedly.  The ruckus scared every fish for a mile.

Good shooting.  Izzy, way to get back on the Horse.
Relax,

You'll live longer!
