Yeah if you ever go once then you will be hooked forever.  I haven't been doing it for long but I really like it. I have a grasp of how its done but need to go more to really learn all the tricks.  First I need a boat!  I rigged my lil flat bottom river boat with a deck but it was too much for the lil boat so I added two 20gal barrel pontoons. it worked but just was more of a joke than anything. If you ever get the chance to go again let me know. We'll get together and have a good ol time.

I've got a 14ft. flatbottom with a deck on the front, that goes back past the middle seat, but my outboard went blah, just got a trollin motor right now, but with the right place it works fine, long as you don't gotta go to far... :D

But its fun especially when you find em', I've found a honey hole that can be fished from the bank, thats fun but crazy. You ever been drug off the deck, I did in Harmon's creek one time that was a ride, and worst of all it ended up bein a big ol' needle nose... >:(

Bowfishing and hunting is what I do best. I do my bowfishing on the Brazos River From Whitney to Waco and hunt around those areas too.  I just wish they would have left it legal to bowfish catfish instead of doing a one year trial run of it. >:( >:( >:(   It's hard to pass up those nice big ole cats to shoot at a carp or drum. ;D ;D >:D
