 I use a recurve and wade the Nolan River near Lake Whitney once in a while. Seems like I stick an old water snake bout every time I go along with carp and gar.

listen to bayem he's for sure pointing you in the right direction. if you shoot an onieda you'll never shoot anything else.  I don't live to far from ya so if you ever need an extra give me a hollar.

I did a lot of bow fishing when I was in school and for a few years afterwards. My uncle showed me the ropes. I personally prefer a recurve with only a 50 lbs draw weight. It's a lot of fun and I wish I still had time for it.
I would sure like to see some pictures once you get started.

 Ill get some pics up when we start, Ive got an oversized plattform idea for the front which will have all the lights on that way I can remove it easy. And Im looking into one of those lil honda generators that are supposed to be quiet to run the lights. I just cant wait to hit the water and get some good eats, I cant stand buying fish from the market.

We are going to the river saturday. Gator gar better watch out. And dont wast your money on bows. ONLY BUY A ONEIDA. You can get screaming eagles for 150 up to the Osprey for 600.
