[Q2XL]

went out today and saw more little ones in this one area so went on down the river and started seein bigger ones.ran into a lot around 8 to 10 lbs but were out in river too far.saw one that would go over the 20 lb mark but was too much stuff in the way to get a clean shot :( will try again tommorrow

[george tinkham]

[carpwarrior]

i was at a spot to day doing some scouting , i saw afew that were porkers, they were bigger than the average for around here

[LookMa-NoHands!]

I have seen a few carps and some suckers, a few quillbacks. They don't seem to live very long in my presence though........


I must have bad mojo about me?

[Q2XL]

well got the carp buster ready to go today hope to be able to get it out this weekend.found some real good holes today.and dear hunter got his first taste of givin one a fiberglass injection.

[george tinkham]

ever had a bouce back and the arrah bout takes off you noggan???

[Ðe§perado™]

I had an arrow bounce of a large rock and the arrow came back and stuck me in the leg. Didn't go very deep , but will scare you quite a bit.

[george tinkham]

wow i'm surprised i still got eyes

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Slow today ,I think the rain last night slowed it back down again.

[Ðe§perado™]

Thats what i was thinking when it was raining. Back to the drawing board.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Tomorrow will be a better day i 'm thinking i got the gut feeling

[george tinkham]

some flood waters in fields would be nice

[Whit_1]

Most of the(if not all) fish that we are shooting are way back up under the trees and brush..They have started to raise the water levels in the res. and the carp are up in the fresh mud looking for bugs..We have had a few really good nights that we shot over a 100 and last Sun. we went out untill about 1am and shoot 50 between two boats.

[Ðe§perado™]

Sounds like a great night.;)

[george tinkham]

i have always shot them during the day.on a good hot sunny day i would find many by a decent size tree in the shade from the trunk.always hard to see but that was a good place to locate them

[Ðe§perado™]

I have found them like that later in the day, Mostly sucking on the surface around the bark.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Was at one of the hot spots today and man they were in there but hanging out very tight to the bottom ,you would maybe see them for a second then all you would see was mud every where.They also was hanging very tight to the edges in the high grass so when try to sneek in for an ambush they they were off again, but had fun today anyway.Will be back on the water next weekend.Should be better as long as the water warm and no rain.

[Q2XL]

sounds like you had a good day on the water. did you see any big ones today or were they all smaller ones

[Ðe§perado™]

I had that same thing happen to me and carpwarrior when we hit Buckeye lake the other day.

[LookMa-NoHands!]

Went out today and shot the Maumee. The fish are a little harder to find now that the water is going down and clearing up. Shot about 25 or so. 5-18lbs. No suckers today....hmmm.

Saw two other bowfisherman-in all the years I've been shooting there, I've only seen 4 other guys shooting fish. Didn't look like they did any good though. Hopefully we get some more rain to bring up some new fish.

[carpwarrior]

isnt that the truth DESPERADO , i still had a blast, ill shoot with ya any time . wish me luck in TEXAS , gar here i come

[Ðe§perado™]

Good luck partner!! Hope you get lots of large gator gar!;)

[george tinkham]

i seen some real big gar in the trinity river in livingston and also in the san jacinto below lake houston dam...also some big rivercats in these rivers too.those gar are taller than a person

[Ðe§perado™]

thats true george. Look at mud sharks pics and see lots of gar over 6" long.

[george tinkham]

6" eh...okay

[Ðe§perado™]

Opps, I meant 6 foot long...LOL..:D ;)

[MISFIT]

have you been to hoover yet?they were thick up at galena,above the old bridge,last week when i was there.the noise drove me crazy.hundreds of them tearing up the place around us.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Have not been to hoover yet but will here soon,I know they are hitting the edges up here at Indian Lake pretty hard

[Ðe§perado™]

I went up and seen them. They are all in the 3-7lb. range. Waiting for the big buffs to come in.

[george tinkham]

carp or gar

[Ðe§perado™]

Those are buffalo suckers. They can get up to 60 lbs. I shot one last year a little over 37 lbs.

[george tinkham]

big suckers

[Ðe§perado™]

Yes, they are. Scales about the size of a silver dollar.

[LookMa-NoHands!]

Hey Clarence-do you have any pics of that 37lber? I'm curious what it looked like. I shot a big one last year and my scale read 31-10, but it looks bigger to me. It's in the gallery-take a look and let me know what you think.

[george tinkham]

boy that is a nice one

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Man a 37 pounder i bet that was fun

[Ðe§perado™]

I think I have a pic around here . I'll find it.
Brent what a nice fish. It does look bigger than what you said.

[george tinkham]

did you check out them big pigs up in the right hand corner of the screen

[Ðe§perado™]

George, you talking about in the gallery?

[george tinkham]

yup

[Ðe§perado™]

Thats what I thought.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Sure did those are some nice fish,Looks like those guys had a nice day of shooting.

[Ðe§perado™]

True, When we all go to the Buckeye Classic we need to get some pics to post.

[Q2XL]

looks like a nice weekend ahead. might have to get out and do some carpin this weekend.shoot 3d course then carp shoot afterwards.

[LookMa-NoHands!]

.......I think I'll go medieval on the Maumee later today. Some poor ol carp is gonna get the injection. I'll post when I return.

[LookMa-NoHands!]

Just got back-whacked a few. Maybe 35 or so. Biggest about 18lbs. Water was super low and super clear-it was like looking down into glass. Still waiting for the big influx of carps....there aren't many in there yet. Maybe when I get back they'll be there. Suckers looked like they are about to spawn soon.

[Q2XL]

sounds like you did good look ma. caribou dear hunter aka[NO BOW] AND I ARE GOIN OUT TOMMORROW AFTER SHOOT AND SEE WHAT WE CAN GET INOT

[Caribou Dreamer2]

[carpwarrior]

[Q2XL]

went out lookin today and only saw a couple carp. figured with the nice weather would see a bunch but guess not.

[Ðe§perado™]

I went out with my son and didn't see to many. I hope some of the warm weather gets these fish up.

[Q2XL]

[carpwarrior]

The man who taught me how to bow fish once said a bad day bowfishin is better than now bowfishin at all

[Ðe§perado™]

I went out to Buckeye today and fiberglass injected 14 carp most were in the 12 lb. range and did get one that weighed 18.35 lbs. It was good until the wind started up and riding the white caps was fun...LOL

[carpwarrior]

sounds like the doctor was in the office today Clarence

[Ðe§perado™]

Yes..LOL..And giving more injections everytime out. When are we hooking up?

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Anybody doing any good these last two or three day we are not seeing much fish at all just wondering.

[carpwarrior]

Me and Bozwell went and shot some good fish today , i missed 3 real good hogs . big fish of the day was 11 pounder . if the sun was out , it would have been a high number of fish in the boat the water is still a little cold.

[Q2XL]

saw lots of fish yesterday just the saw us too and could not get on them quick enough.oh well will try again soon. hopefully the spawn gets goin here for long me and a buddy got a reel good area picked out that were goin to try this year.see lots of fish each time wre out so they should be in there durin the spawn too.

[LookMa-NoHands!]

I saw a bunch yesterday as well, only shot at a few. Biggest was bout 18 or so. High water for a few days with more rain coming it's gonna be awhile till I can shoot again.

[Q2XL]

never saw any that big but we know there are a lot in the lake that size.got a lot of rain last night also so im sure water is realy muddy now

[carpwarrior]

i hit the Great Miami river today, wasnt alot of fish up , but i shot 15 or so fish, the biggest was arround 18 but with no scales i would say 16 to be safe, but all the fish were big fat females full of eggs , come on more rain , i love shooting on the river after a good flood, Bozzwell sorry u always miss the floods lol lol ha ha

[LookMa-NoHands!]

My river is at flood stage-it sucks! Fast, high coffee colored water with trees, docks and picnic tables going downstream. No fun to shoot. It went up 5 feet in 24 hours. Maybe next month I'll be able to shoot..........anyone w/ a boat wanna go out on Erie??

LOL.....:rolleyes:

[Q2XL]

well looks like there startin to spawn in my area. saw alot of them rollin on the banks today got one that was 12lbs 10 oz. and another that was 17lbs. 6 oz.saw alot of them bigger than the 17 pounder but could not get shot too far away. have to go out in the boat this weekend and give it a try:D

[Caribou Dreamer2]

If they have spawned it was over in one day up here,Been out a couple time here in the last week and not seeing much of anything a few small one here and there,but the water looks like coffee,Whats everybody else seeing or doing any good

[Caribou Dreamer2]
