Bow Fishing

[Javantalith]

I was wondering if anyone could make some recommendations of beginner gear and self training in bow fishing. Was thinking of taking up a new hobby this summer while visiting family in East tennessee. Seems like a good place to do it. Just no experience in doing so. Any advice on best websites or videos would be appreciated.

B. Use of Bow and Arrow. A person may take or shoot carp, garfish, skate, bullfish, oyster toads, swelling toads, sting rays, or any other ray fish with a bow and arrow, except a crossbow, in the tidal waters of the State. A person may not shoot an arrow without specific advance permission within 100 yards of any:

(1) Human being;

(2) Private or public bathing area;

(3) International diving flag;

(4) Occupied duck blind; or

(5) Vessel other than that occupied by the archer.



i will try to find non tidal aswell but pritty much, if you follow the creel limits and dont shoot game fish, you are GTG.

Just for grins, I figured I'd post an old pic of my buddy that lives in Washington State and his bow fishing hull for the day

Boat required or is this something you can do from shore? It looks like tons of fun.
