I would bowfish....aside from the fact that I don't know a bit about it, other than some of my old man's friend's used to shoot carp that way. I do have a bow, though, so I guess that puts me in the "+" column. I'm down to shoot about anything provided it has a heartbeat.

We used to do quite a bit of it off Lake George Silver Glenn, Salt River area, set up an old Bear bow had the 808 Zebco on it bunch of lights across the front and a little Honda EU2000 generator(very quiet) It's a blast. Takes a little bit to get used to shooting fish just aim low.

Bet this sport takes on a whole new level of effort.

We used to camp at Salt Springs and fish the run up into Lake George. There were some HUGE mullet in the run, and we'd go out at night and gig them. My uncle wasn't too good at using the gig, about the only thing he ever got was a huge mudfish! That thing was huge! It was facing away from the boat, he aimed for the head and got the midle of its back. He didn't allow for the refraction of the water, which is what messes up most people.

I've got an old Bear Whitetail, would that be worth setting up for bowfishing?

I've never really done bowfishing. Never thought about shooting mullet. I really have to start thinking about this one. Not really much for the bay mullet here but it is good for shark fishing. And it gives me an excuse to shoot my bow.
