bowfishing has begun. Sullys is probly the best place to buy you equipment, but sportsmans has most of what you will need. A recurve or longbow will be the best for fishing to reduce the chance of snapback. i personally use a pse coyote with a big johnson spincast reel. I ordered the fast flight line from sullys. it is small diameter and 200 lb. you could also use a hand reel and they work great. I would highly suggest getting some good strong line. I have lost several arrows with knot breaking or getting the line wrapped on something when you shoot. having a strong line means the arrow will probly be coming back at you if it gets tangled but at ten dollars an arrow i take my chances. whenever i have had tangles i usually get at least 10-15 feet of line out first. the arrow usually just hits the ground. I went out yesterday and the carp have begun to spawn. I shot a couple is all, but it will continue to get better as the water warms. I will try to post a picture of my outfit.
