Thread: No excuse

Well on a side note did you catch any fish.

Some of the local ramps that the"bow fishermen" use have hidden cameras to catch the plate numbers of the ones that do this nonsense.

Rich, is it possible they have have washed up into that area? Those all look like the silvers that I'm seeing die all over the lake areas I have been fishing.

I saw bank walking Bow-fishermen last night when I loaded up (Monday night) ...

There were dead carp there in the parking lot with arrow holes in them today (Tuesday afternoon) ...

These idiots rack'em & stack'em just long enough to get pictures of their "success" ...

And then leave the mess (and stink) for everyone else to put up with ...

I'm glad these guys are killing the beasts... but their ethics after the kill are despicable ...

I always wondered what bow fishermen did with their catches. For the most part, they are killing fish nobody eats. I'm sure lots do something like this but what is the proper way to deal with the waste after they are done? Maybe a dumb question but I've always wondered that. Like you said, great to kill all the bigeyes they can but i personally never understood spearing a non-invasive fish just to let it rot. If I kill something intentionally, it is going on a plate. I'm not one to judge those others that do it legally and ethically, but it just isn't for me.

Cut the gills to kill, put a hole in the air bladder and let them loose back into the water is one way.

Haul them off and dump them in a field corner or off into the woods way away from house or where people frequent. NOT ON WMA's THOUGH.
