Bowfishing - for or against?

asago · 01-08-2009, 10:36 PM

I watched a guy "hunting" sheepshead and looks like a lot of fun (I say hunting because he didn't get one while I was watching)... so I broke down and bought an AMS retriever for my bow.Now I've fished practically every possiblewayand out of almost every type of vessel in lots of places in my life but this is something new for me... any other bowfishers out there that want to teach a newbie? opinions on bowfishing in general? (I've read the regs and they are pretty strict as to what can/cannot be harvested)....

I've never done it, and even if i tried i doubt i'd hit anything....I'd say FOR just because of how hard it looks

I would love to try the sport of fishing in this way! Maybe later in the year, I do know that it can be very hard. Harder than even convetional fishing.
