We would use our compound hunting bows along with the fishing kits.

I have not been bowfishing for carp in a long time, but I agree, it sure as hell is alot of fun.

One of the best places I know of is on Crab Creek north of Moses lake. If you look on the map, there is a large spillway that falls from the east to west towards Crab Creek. Carp will pile up in the thousands at the bottom of that spillway. It is a deep hole surrounded by shallow water, so there is still some challenge.

There are some piggy carp out there that will pull your gear out of your hands if you are not careful! Had a buddy lose a regular bow to a carp that was probably 40+. Have a safety strap attached to your bow and around your wrist so you dont get jacked.
