Since Cade was having trouble getting the shoulder of the barbs on his arrows thru the scales of these tough fish, I “tweeked his points a bit giving them a little cutting edge to help the barb get thru…
The next fish he hit on this beautiful morning, was very solid hit, but ended with the line tangling around a rock and the fish pulling off. We’re getting closer all the time..
On this fish, I decided that we’d both shoot at it in case his arrow wasn’t in good enough, hoping my arrow would be in it in case so he could land it with my arrow. I shot on his release. Both arrows hit the water at about the same time…unfortunately it was only my arrow in the fish…but he did get to land it….
Another night of bowfishing with our friend Terry on his little boat proved to be a little slow because of the tide and muddy water. But again Cade got a good hit on a fish that tangled in some heavy vegetation. We did a little action though…
Earlier this week, I squeezed in a quick evening ‘chuck hunt…
That brings us to yesterday morning…. Cade decided to sleep in, so I hit the river at very first light with good friends Glen and Gary. We got in about an hour of bowfishing before the rain hit…
Gary, Glen, and myself…
Later in the day, the rain stopped and Cade and I hit a pond for a couple hours of froggin’ before dark….
A cool sneak, then shot…
Another good shot with his little longbow almost parallel to the ground…
Cade did a lot of the shooting and ended up with 8 big frogs, we shot 12 all together on a very hot, humid evening…
Anybody with young kids eager to get out there and do some “hunting”. Find a pond with some frogs, get a whole bunch of arrows, and let them have a blast! You’ll end up with some fine table fare as well…
Don’t let summer be a slow time just waiting for fall to get here, get out and get after some fish and frogs!
