We had six on the boat, and never put the bow down.

The way we worked it was. Everyone stayed on his side of the boat, 3 on each side. If you shot a fish the other two moved up to the front and the one that killed a fish moved to the back after he got fish off arrow. That way we all had time on the front where shooting was easier.

Not sure if possible on your boat as im sure there are different ways to do it. Here is my buddy's rig. He had that aluminum deck built with the 8 halogen lights wired to generator in the rear plus four bows. The deck is removable with two people to convert back to just a regular boat for fishing. It was an awesome setup.

Not sure if you can get into shallow enough water for bow fishing. That would be something to look into.

Damn, bowfishing is serious business.

Either way, I'm sure its a hell of a time.

You never know when you will see one so got to be ready. It was intense4 hours. Maybe if I go again it would be more relaxed but I was ready to spear them bastards

The deckhand got pissed when somebody shot a gar. He had to take that nasty fricker off the arrow.

Just a pain and I'm not eating it. Reds and flounders were what we went for.

That area, all the way up to Lake Verrett has to have more gar than anywhere else in the world.

I work with someone that was on your boat. His initials are JW and he said you couldn't shoot.

I'm going for the first time tonight with two of my old high school pals, should be a good time. I can't shoot a bow worth a shite so hilarity could ensue.
