Awesome video. Are you freehand shooting those or are you actually sighting them in? I’ve never actually done it with a setup that fits me so typically have to eyeball it. Do you go all summer long or just the spawn week?
I was using a simple pin sight in this vid that helps with the longer shots. I've since removed it and just put a bolt through the top mounting hole as a sighting reference. I think most people don't use sights or releases, but I like a simple little reference sight and I'm just used to a release so that's what I do. The fish seem to move out to groups out in the open water (still on top) after the spawn ends, so I'll be out there in my boat as often as I can all summer.
I just bought a bow for bow fishing. I don’t know many places to go. If you could tell me where this is/ where to bow fish all year round from shore that would be awesome.
This was on the south side of provo bay. Access point is called Swede lane on this site, but many of these locations would be a good place to start: utahlake.org/access-points/ Utah lake is so murky that finding fish all year round is very challenging. The fish really have to decide to show themselves. From mid-may to late-june they spawn and shore will work well. During the rest of the summer a boat will be more effective as they start grouping up and surfacing in the open water.
@@eriksavage7594 I don't have much experience there. The only tributary I've tried is powell slough pre-spawn this year and there was just one group from the parking spot all the way to the lake. I've driven around looking at benjamin slough, but it was too murky when I was scouting. I'm sure they are crazy during spawn, but I would bet they aren't in those much when it's not spawn time.
Just kill them, cut the air sac and throw them back in the water to sink. That seems to be the accepted method of disposing of them if you don't want them for fertilizer or something.
