I've done a good bit of searching through the regs, looked through some threads on here, and asked some people who should know and it seems that you can bowfish pretty much anywhere it is legal to fish and as long as you have a fishing license. Am I missing anything here? I'm sure it has to be a little more clear than this. I live in Palm Harbor and know of a few places around here, Dunedin, and Tarpon for sheepshead, mullet, and rays and I'm itching to get out asap.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Acts 10:13 - And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”

Luke 5:9-11 - For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.” So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.

Found it at the link below on page 7. Looks like it's the same rules as spearfishing. Nothing within 100 yards of a designated swimming beach or pier or 100 feet of jetties. All else is fair game so long as it's a legal species to shoot.
