This is to let all you bowfishermen or Englishmen know that the Carp are up in the drainage ditch next to my office. Would be easy pickings as they are in less than a foot of water and are very easy to see against the concrete background.




This is the bridge at Luna/Valwood Parkway and there are 1,000's that are trapped by the receding water. Come and get 'em!!!

That is all.

The water level went down and it's back to bank fishing. There are some in that pond tho.

Wow, you guys aren't lying about how quickly that water receded. When I took that picture, the water was hundreds of yards from that bridge and there were carp swimming way past the little foot bridge. There were 1000's of fish under that bridge. Maybe watch for the next big rain because we always see them in there when the water comes up. We have even seen gar and catfish.

I don't bowfish, thought some of you might.

Bowhunting Rules!!! Love the sport and more challenging than rifle hunting. Real 'Men' Bowhunt!!!

Hey thats right over by my office! I drive by there all the time. So do you think that after tonights rain that the fish will be back under than bridge tomorrow morning? I would assume that the water will come back up since we've got a good amount of rain tonight. Curious about trying it tomorrow morning early or in the afternoon.

That looks like the little bridge right across from the Dickeys BBQ I guess the fish come up that little concrete canal from that large lake to the south.

The pound that canal leads to is where their at. Might just do some good back there.

Edit: auto correct sucks. ..
