Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 25, 2011 Global Moderator Posted July 25, 2011 Water sucked and it was hot but I still managed to shoot a couple fish. I started by sticking a big grass carp that pulled off. Then I missed a couple that I could barely see because of the dirty water. Finally got a good look at a little silver carp and ended up doubling but the second one fell off at the boat. Slowed down and managed to sneak up on a decent sized big head. I motored out of the creek and started going slowly upriver with the big motor to try to get an aerial shot at a silver, something I've never connected on before. Not far up the river a school started jumping so I drew and waited. A decent sized silver jumped and flew straight towards the boat and I whacked him head on! I shot one more silver that didn't jump but was keeping pace with the boat right below the surface but it tore off also. Got the bigger silver I shot out of the air in a bucket to cut up and use for catfish bait tomorrow, bass fishing is tough but they're biting like crazy I've heard! Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 4, 2011 Author Global Moderator Posted August 4, 2011 There are some monster big heads in the river but they are hard to get a shot on with the dirty water. All I usually see are the ripples from them filtering right below the surface and sometimes the white of the inside of their mouth. I shot one not quite as big as that one a few years ago, they pull like crazy on a bowfishing rig but they're so soft they seem to pull off alot, not that I really care if I land them, just as long as they don't survive the experience!
