[batastrophe]

Wanting to get up to Big Bear in the next few weeks prior to the Carp Roundup and looking for other So. Cal. bowfisherman to join up with. Either shoot from shore or rent a pontoon. Let me know if you're interested.

Missed these posts as I've been laid up with a bad cold. Suffice it to say, I didn't make it this past Saturday, but am heading up for sure on the 18th. If either of you will be up there let me know.

Thanks,

-Jeff

Headed back up this Friday the 29th if anyone wants to meet up.

[Skyler]

I would, but I'm heading up to the sierras to fly fish for golden trout. Next week I plan on bowfishing the imperial canals if you wanna met up though.

Fly fish?

I thought you said you were bringing us back some golden trout filets that you got by using your bow and arrows?

Naw, I S&R the goldens. Just plug the hole up with some chewing gum and gently release 'em. Don't forget to wet your hands...

My Brother and I shot the tournament. We didnt get much, only 12 carp for 52lbs total in 2 days. Had a tough time finding good numbers of fish.
I'd like to head out to the canals sometime and try that out.

Was out yesterday and the wind sucked for the first 3 hours, shot about 10 fish. Wind laid down at around 2 pm and we slammed 'em for two to three hours ended up with well over 100 lbs for the day. We had three fish over 10 lbs which for me was unusual for BB.

Made it out on Thursday morning and shot from the Stansfield bridges from about 7 until 10:30 until the fish went out far and deep. Ended up with 3 in the 4ish lb range. Had a blast!

I was out in Stanfield Marsh working the weed beds and the boardwalks on Friday and Sunday. Shot 12 on Friday (one was about 10-15 pounds), and 8 on Sunday. The boardwalks are pretty slow right now. They are holding tight in the weeds, guys. You gotta watch for moving grass and wait for them to move under a hole in the weeds. Listen for that telltale sucking noise. I had one stick his mouth up through a 1" hole in the weeds to suck air yesterday...Shot an arrow straight down his throat!

Pics of them in your sink?

Catch is not considered official until the pics in the sink.
