Bow Fishing Day



Looks like I may have to start another blog about a possible new addiction…..BowFishing. It is actually more like hunting than fishing. A hell of alot of fun. It was a nice,sunny, warm day out in the channels around Utah Lake. A bunch of guys that call themselves Carp Hunters, with air boats, jet boats and Mud Buddy boats. Arm themselves with bows and arrows and head out to get the stinky,nasty fish. Some of them took it a bit more serious than us. We fished, change that, we hunted for about 2 ½ Hours then decided we wanted some lunch. Back to the boat and Mac knows how to hook it up….Charcoal grill, sausages, beers and Patron’! My kind of lunch! We had to have a first time celebratory cheers but no shot glasses! Who are we to just swig from the bottle? Animals? Thanks to Mac-gyver, he had it taken care of with a little cutting of a beer can and crimping the edges to avoid cut lips! Fascinating! The hunting was fun, much like a spot and stalk type. Wading through the shallows, trying to be as quiet and wakeless as possible. Spotting the fish in the shallow water and slowly stalk ahead, drawing the bow as you approach, aim and release…….THWAP. Fish stuck, arrow through it and stuck to the mud. Most of them anyway, some we missed, some we hit high so they escaped and some jumped out of our bucket. Overall a really good time, fun people and unforgettable experiences. Sorry there is not more pics but my camera decided not to work that day. Thanks Mac, thanks Zac, and thanks Bowfishing Association. Good Times!! Check it out and get your hunt on.
