gonefishin Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 Bow Fishing for Bighead Carp I would rather be fishin'. "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." Benjamin Franklin, 1759
Terry Beeson Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 Leonard and Duckydoty see that with trout every night on Taney... They must have been using Leonard's trout whistle... I've seen similar video, but never thought of bow hunting for carp on the wing...

Kansas Fly Fisher Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 That's a pretty cool video. Looks like they were having a blast. John Born to Fish, Forced to Work KSMEDIC.COM

Snow Fly Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 Terry is right on While I have never had the pleasure of fishing with Leonard, I have heard the great stories about the famous "Trout Whistle" in use on Taney..................... I can only believe the trout act the same way when Leonard calls "God gave fishermen expectancy, so they would never tire of throwing out a line"
skeeter Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 After taking a ride in a friend's river jon on the Mississippi and Missouri just above St. Louis I can tell you that these guys were very brave sitting with their backs to the front of the boat. MDC has installed protective gear in front of steering location in their river boats due to flying 30+ lb. carp. When they hit you or jump into your boat they leave this unbelievable slime behind, if you are going fast enough and hit one they can actually knock you out of the boat or break noses etc. Not joking ! Archers were incredible shots but next time I would suggest hand grenades, dynamite or maybe shotguns would be fun. Anything to get rid of these darn things. Illinois installed some sort of electric fence on the upper Illinois River to try and prevent these critters from entering the Great Lakes. Biologists claim they will really do just fine in cold water. Kind of surprised guides floating the White below Bull Shoals have not seen them in trout waters yet.
Terry Beeson Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Skeeter... quiet... the carp down there don't know about the tail waters yet...
