I had a great day that day.  These canals are small and full of fish.  Seemed like every 20 yards we would bump another group of fish.

Looks like a great time. How does that reel you got there mount to the bow? Is it screwed into the side or does it wrap around the limb somehow? I saw those at the store the other day but I wasnt sure if there was a way to mount it on my any of my selfbows.

I slapped it together the night before. My neighbor dropped off this reel in the mail box and say see ya in the morning we are going bow fishin. I used the K.I.S.S. method and zip tied it on. you can see that in photo one, three, and four. I used leather in-between to protect the wood.
