so whos done it? i'm debating getting a setup, what do you all think?
1)my brother owns a really good bow so all i need is some line and an arrow
2)at this time of year the lake i fish on is heavily weeded and this causes the water around the weeds to be very clear
3)the lake is only 6-10 feet deep and visibility is down to nearly the bottom
4)i can see them cruising by occasionaly (yesterday i spotted one that was damn near 4ft long and about 9in wide)
so should i do it? is it possible to shoot them at those depths or can i only hit them near the surface? that big guy has to be what, 40-50lbs? id love to catch a fish that big. and if i were to go about this, is the best way to chum the waters up really good to attract them, or just sit and wait for them to cruise by?
