Title: bowfishing
Post by: paco664 on September 19, 2016, 03:37:45 pm

got started bowfishing thanks to Parnell... what a wonderful way to waste a morning...
i have to say i do wayyyyyyy more shooting than hitting but it's all good and fun till i walk up on a gator *(so far this week a 7' a 8' and at least a 10'er)

anyway... giving the Gar hell around here... and hoping to get a few tilapia but the canals are deep and steep and they're a lot harder to hit when they're down there...

Got your first Tilapia, last night.  Way to go!  Did you eat it yet?

yeah he did... drove the 120miles yesterday and i spent the day stalking the canals... broke the $#$@ reel on my bow... when Parnell got off work he came met me and we went to Dicks sporting goods and i bought a nice new zero drag reel... went back to the canal and first thing i saw a nice tilapia and i nailed right in the noggin...

went to his house filleted it up and put it on ice... it tasted dandy tonight..
