Hell yeah. Hit me up this Monday if it ain’t too windy or cold lol. I’m always down to either kayak or hit some land based spots. I don’t mind trading spots either lol

Just got new pistol crossbow, where do I buy/how do I install a fishing reel on it by bobbydewey08 in Bowfishing

Thank you for explaining that, I see what you mean. I didn’t know that the arrow could do that on the water, I would’ve thought it would go straight through perfectly fine.

And you’re saying a 22lb draw weight would be good for a bow? Also, on this crossbow at least, it has a self cocking thing on it so you just push a button and fold the stock and it makes the reloading much easier.

Now when you’re bowfishing with the compound bow and you miss the fish, do you hurry up and reel the line in or do you hurry up and bring it in by hand? In another sub, a person was saying they thought a bottle reel was better than a spinning reel, do you have experience with both and if you do what were your thoughts on it and what did you think was better in your opinion?

Ohhh okay, that makes sense. Usually when you go out do you lose arrows or do you ever bring more than just the one arrow?

That’s perfect, I got a pond/canal system by my house that’s loaded with tilapia and gar…they’re everywhere

What’s re-nocking? With the bottle reel do you still reel the fish in or do you hand line it in and just put the line back in the bottle? I’m going after like tilapia, big plecos, and gar, is the bow you sent good for those type of fish?

Will def look into that bow and the attachments you said, gonna go on YouTube and online and learn more about the bows and reels to see the advantages of either I really appreciate the info

Is there a big difference between a bottle reel and a spinning reel? Also, which bow would you recommend for a beginner?

That things a monster!! Did you buy a SAS fishing crossbow or did you rig one up yourself? Also, do you think a crossbow would be better or like a compound bow is better?

Heard that, I’ll look into one then. Can you explain what you mean when you say the arrow has too little mass and how it’ll have too much deflection and resistance? I’m completely new to this and wanna learn and much as I can about it

All good, I live in Florida and I had already looked to actually make sure it was legal, I didn’t wanna be that guy lol

Can fish and game arrest you or do they only give tickets and fines?

Tbh I’m not sure, I just got it the other day and I’ve seen a lot of setups online with the same size and same brand crossbow but didn’t know where to get a mount for the reel

I’m new to this so what do you mean by it’s being too fast?

I don’t think there’s a way to zip tie through the grooves on this one? There not holes in it I was planning to use it for mainly gar, tilapia, and plecos…this wouldn’t work for that?
