I went bowfishing last monday (12th), and the carp were wild! I was using a 20 lb Mathews genesis bow from the shore and my arm got tired from shooting. Friday, (17th we just got home) the wind was blowing, but everything else seemed the same. However, there were very few carp! Anybody know how long the spawn cycle is? Was it the wind roughing up the water that kept them down? I was pretty bummed. It has only been 4 days since I was there. What a change. What a blast it was last week though!
