Yeah, getting pissed off at something that someone else does that's perfectly legal and has no affect on them is silly and a waste of energy. I wouldn't care to hunt high fence myself but it doesn't bother that others do and I'm damn sure not going to get upset about it.

Care to address my question?


BOOMROASTED I apologize I wasnt' up at 4:30 this morning to address your question. No, more fish died due to rodnreel than starvation stick, but your question is dumb because there is exponential more rodnreel fisherman than bowfisherman

Fella said you will bring me sheepshead, lay them on me, got lots of mouths to feed around my place

Like I said 100 time and Ill' say again, the bowfisherman mentality=pen raised bird hunter because its all about pulling the trigger not an actual chase.

And to dumbass say its silly to worry about somebody doing something in bounds of law, nothing would ever change if people didnt get upset with legal actions of others. You all will see Ive been talking with Bobby and we are trying to have the redfish a gamefish and then all you trigger pullers can shoot gar and carp

Well you're worried about the SLAUGHTER of reds due to bowfisherman. But rod and reel takes EXPONENTIALLY more redfish than bowfishing. Your argument is dumb.

Wrong

But there's no point in arguing with you about anything.

Redfish is already a gamefish. Has been since the gill net bans in the early 90's.

Do you really think redfish numbers are in danger now?

Exactly when I go fishing there's hundreds of boats everywhere pulling in redfish and then the dock is packed with ice chests with limits of reds. When we go bowfishing it's like a freaking ghost town, both in the marsh and at the dock. But we sure are slaughtering them. We take our limits and more than likely if I didnt go bowfishing I would have gone regular fishing. We've gone bowfishing and gotten skunked, just like regular fishing. So it's not something automatic just because you're using a light. There are many weekends we didn't go because the wind was bad.

I will never understand why people think that bowfishing is a given to catch (or shoot) a limit of reds.

Agreed. I've been twice. First time we absolutely annihilated them. Shot our 4 man limit in an hour. Second time we shot one red in five and a half hours.

We talking about how bowfisherman are unethical fisherman. Its the "I want to pull the trigger" mentatlity that I relate to people going on pin raised bird hunts. Fishing isnt about motoring up and artificially lighting a fish before you shoot, its about peace and harmony, working the bait and becoming one with your rod. The people with all I want to do is pull the trigger are the ones most likely to waste redfish and sheepshead




Get this shite out of here. It's a legal harvest and we clean everything we shoot. No one goes out just to shoot shite and then toss it. Offshore fishing is the only fishing that is more fun than bowfishing

I had no clue bow fishing would cause so much butt hurt haha. We kept and cleaned everything, even the sheepshead. Everything was legal. Zero difference from rod and reel fishing, except shooting a redfish with a bow is way more fun. Anyone who has been knows it's one of the most fun things you can do in the outdoors.

Y u mad dawg?
