Is bowfishing for carp open?

Last time I went shad fishing in a boat we weren't 15' apart.  I could have handed a bottle of Grey Poupon over to the next boat.  In that fishery, it's no big deal, actually fun seeing everyone catching and there are always tons of kids reeling until their arms are sore.

Oh yeah some places is elbow to elbow. I started fishing John day it’s closer still lots of people on the best spots but you can spread out from people and still do good.

John day is where I fish as well. Never within 50 yards of anyone on shore. But I choose weekdays.

You fish Washington or Oregon side?

Washington. I’ll usually see 10-30 people as far as I can see down the bank. But no reason to crowd for shad. Last few years have been killer fun.
