Does anyone do any bowfishing on the corp lakes?

I'm not into it, I had rather catch big crappie, they eat better. But we have an archery shop and we sell a lot of bowfishing stuff, and my son seems to love it. As a matter of fact we are in the process of building him a bowfishing boat with a raised deck and lights.

Back to the original question, does anyone do any bowfishing on the corp lakes? And are the gar or carp still running on the corp lakes?

it may be too late this year but lake charles on the upper end on the flats can be real good during spawn. been years since i did it there. got several israllie (sp) carp and one snake. it's hard to get your arrow back from a mad snake pinned to a log. and i'm sure the backout water in the fields can be good. used to do a lot over in the bootheel on the st. francis river when it was out in the fields during spawn. for night time bowfishing if he wants to buy a mo lic the floodway ditches at hornersville are good for gar. a few alligator gar there too. don't know if they are protected there or not now.

Orville and I saw a couple of guys last night in a fan boat I guess. We went down to the edge of the lower lake (Sardis) but they had so many lights on we couldn't tell what they were doing. I suspect the were doing some kind of bow fishing.

Thanks for the heads up guys. I will tell them about Lake Charles, we have a lease not too far from the lake.

There is a tournament on Sardis Saturday night and I think they are going to try to fish it.

Up the creeks and rivers are full of gar right now, should be good.
