Not sure about TR, but in Lake of the Ozarks they are way up in the creeks spawning right now....by the thousands !

I think they seriously need to be thinned out, their numbers in this lake are rediculis and the dang things live FOREVER.

Spear, keep us posted on how you do. I used to bowfish in my younger days with a buddy and it was a heckuva good time. More poeple should really look into it; it's a blast!

Saw a HUGE one up in Piney Creek, the thing broke the surface right off the bow of my boat... and I about lost two pounds!!

Spearfisher, less than two weeks ago they were thick and even chasing our topwaters just below Holiday Island. The flats between Holiday Island Marina and the old Devil's Dive Resort were loaded with them.

Saw a 5 footer floating by Cape Fair Marina Sunday. There was a film of trash up by the Virgin bluff stretching all the way across the lake then also. The carp were having a hay day from one side of the lake to the other side in the debree. They were also thrashing around in the back of any pocket.

If the gar deal goes bad you might go after all the carp. That does sound like fun though.

Last year my son and I found a bunch back in Wolf Pen. I think you could have walked across thier backs. Some of them were huge too. I think it was in July,but it might have been in June.

Champ has it right. Many, some very large, at entrance to Holiday Island and several other locations down lake. HI has a free public ramp with large parking area.
