7-25 Hunting Carp

Matt, Allan, and I went out on the Potomac looking for carp. It's called bow fishing, but you have to hunt the wary Potomac carp. We tried to sneak up on them by going upstream, because they will spook twenty yards ahead if they see you. They were in 3-5 feet of water, which makes shooting difficult. It is not easy to get yourself to aim 4 feet below your target.

I managed to hit five. Matt and Allan are still looking for there first bow kill today by going after stingrays in the bay. I will post a report after I hear from them.

I can’t remember which one this was, but the biggest was 15.8lbs

Very impressive....next time we go to the bay, bring the bow and we will thin out the cow nose ray population!
