Re: Any Bow-Fishermen out there?

I don't bow fish any more, but I used to bow fish for small sharks in Morro Bay, California.

As far as the carp go in lakes with water you can't see far into, you can use their habit of surfacing to gulp air and to roll at the surface. I see that behavior a lot at my local lakes that have carp in them. They seem to gravitate to weed beds, and don't seem too disturbed at a nearby boat, as long as you're quiet.

Of course, during spawning season, they're up in the shallow water near shore, so they're pretty easy to see then.
