A few Silvers - Pic - flying asian carp

[WR_Orion]

Was doing some video editing this morning and grabbed a nice screen shot of a few Silvers jumping. Will post video of this trip once the DVD is completed for the guys.

was watching Drivin yesterday and saw a lady get her jaw broke from one of those things... looks like a blast tho

[WR_Orion]

Yeah, that was probably Brackett's girlfriend. Was just a month or so ago that happened. Ouch!

So what are you guys waiting for? Take a few days next summer and come on down

Didn't hear about the body search, but did hear that Chris bit the head off a silver that landed in the boat. I'm thinking I might have to try that if it'll boost interest....on second thought maybe I'll just get my buddy to do it

[BULLZ-i]

APPARENTLY I'M WAITING FOR NEXT SUMMER

If I can, I will

Might make up some flu flu carp arrows

[WR_Orion]

Hehe, that would work, but they better be disposable arrows

I've got more video and the DVD is complete, but I need to reformat the clips into smaller files so I can upload them to the website. Been awhile since I've done video so making small movie files while keeping decent quality has been a challenge

[fletcherjoe]

how do you get the carp to do that?

and how much to get into bow fishing?

We have a flute that we play, I'm a descendant of the pied piper, so it's just a different tune I've learned. They just really like to follow the boat and try to jump in with us. I guess it's kind of mean that we end up shooting them in the face afterward, but oh well

You can get started bowfishing for pretty cheap actually. While there are a lot of specialized bows out there, almost any bow will work, and in my opinion the cheaper the better. These bows tend to get abused pretty good.

So if you don't already have an old bow, I'd check your local pawn shop for a cheap used recurve if you can get it, or a low poundage compound. 40 lbs is plenty. Bows made for kids usually work pretty well.
Then you'll need a reel and arrow. The retriever reel from AMS is going to be your all around best bet in my opinion. If you can't spend the cash for that right off the bat, then look for a drum reel. You should be able to get a drum reel, line and an arrow for about $25. That's at least something to get you started.

Also, check out Bowfishingcountry.com (our sister site) for tons more bowfishing info.

Oh and by the way, I'm not really the pied piper, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night
