We do have a bowfishing area, under the bowhunting area at the top of the page. If someone wants to move it in there feel free to do so. They were not getting it done very well. They were having a bunch of problems with there gear. Would love to get a big set off shark jaws to mount :IBCOOL:

I am only asking cause it really sounds like a alot of fun to do it, not to be the internet police... My bud went on a tuna last year- overnighter type they caught hook and line sharks when the rest of the people went to bed after dark. He would do that over the tuna trip he said...
