    It was a real fun shoot!! We ended up taking 3rd which paid our entry's back plus covered the weekend expenses!! Couldn't have asked for better weather!! The buffs were definitely up and the carp were everywhere!! Can't wait for the next one!!!

    Out of curiosity, do the buffalo and carp run together? Or are you seeing the buffs in different areas than the carp?

    It all depends on what the buffs are doing (pre-spawn, spawn or post spawn) We have shot the sh*t outta buffs in open water and on the shore lines. Like I said, it all depends on what they are doing.

    The fish are there. Shootin the Moon last year my partners D (HuntAZ), Luke and I shot 56 fish!! There was one point we wouldnt even get off the rack to take the fish to the bucket, we just tossed them in the bottom of the boat and kept shooting!! Nothin big though, just your average, small, lake plez carp!

     

    You guys should come up to Roosevelt and shoot our tournament!! The buffalo will be up and it'll be a blast!! Shooting 20+ pound fish beats the heck outta shooting 7-8 pound fish!!

    4 and 5 feet is a deep shot if your not used to it!! CWpredator and I had a night in early March that was like that! It was our first trip of the year so it took a little time and aiming juice to start filling the bucket. We all shoot instinctively, and it seems like once you get your consistency up at 1-3 foot of water, then its nothing but a couple reminder shots (shooting high) and your killin them at 4-6 foot. Keep at it!

    It entirely possible! We hammered the fish along shore at pleasant last Sunday. We went out this past Friday night in the boat and did OK. Slept in the truck so we could shore fish yesterday and it sucked. Fished the exact same spot as last Sunday. The fish were deep. My girlfriend killed one and lost one. I never fired an arrow in the 4 hours we fished.

    Well I guess anything is possible.. I talked to Gary this morning and he did confirm only 2 fish.. Hes thinkin it had something to do with a little front that moved through. I can see how Things can change from shore.. If those fish arent up on top/on the shore line you'll never see them.. If i was going to shoot shore line I'd take a 6' A frame ladder and wade out a little ways and get up high. Its incredible what youll see once you gain elevation on the fish!! When your in a boat, even in January, youll usually see more than 2 carp in a day!! Ive been shootin ducks at roosey and wished i had brought my bowfishing bow!!

    We always see a lot of cats, channels and flat heads, when were shooting fish at night. They are usually in 4-8 foot of water. As for bait, we always fished flat heads with live bait, either 1-2 pound carp or bluegil, and channels either cut bait, minnows or a big glob of nightcrawlers did the trick. Those flat heads gotta be startin to feed heavily for the pre spawn. Hope this helps!
