We head out on Lake Simcoe, Ontario with guide Donny of Hot Box Huts for some epic bowfishing action for common carp. Can you eat carp? Yes, and they are super delicious to eat. Check out this video on tips to bowfish carp from a boat. I will show a beginners tips and tricks on bowfishing carp. We bowfish for grass carp using a simple compound bowfishing kit with no sights, so this is done completely instinctively. The arrows have a special arrow tipped with a point that keeps the fish from falling off. A bowfishing reel helps you keep the line only, and the bowfisherman hand pulls the line in with the fish on. The arrow tip is then unscrewed to allow the barb to face backwards releasing the fish. When the bow is fired, the arrow comes out and a slide hold the string attached to the arrow for retrieval. The line is held into the spool with a clutch, but freely spools out on it's own if it is not held down. Bow fishing gear is pretty straight forward, but having the right stuff is essential. A good bowfisherman can land 100's of these invasive fishes in an afternoon. A beginner might be lucky to get 1 or 2. sometimes, they are even completely skunked, so there is a lot of skill involved in bowfishing. The bowfishing boat we are using is outfitted with a platform to stand on which helps elevate the bowfisherman to a better height so they can see deeper in the water without having the light refract as much. When you bowfish, it's important to aim lower than you think based on how the light reflects. Bowfishing line should be very strong and easy to hand with your hands so it does not cut it. -We are bowfishing in Ontario, Canada out of the city of Innisfil, Ontario. You don't need anything fancy to book a trips. It is advised that you wear clothing you don't mind getting dirty, wear water shoes, or boots, and protect yourself from the elements including the sun and rain. When it comes to tactics for bowfishing, Donny has a lot to choose from. Rather than sit and wait, he prefers to chase carp down sometimes getting them airborn for a shot

There's so many things wrong with this video as a carp fisherman from the UK strictly catch n release, killing carp just dnt sit right with me same as when I see the super markets stocking them now for the eastern Europeans just seeing a dead carp is sad to me, hunting them when there spawning is no challenge you could pick the up with your hand when there spawning plus the damage done to the population.

My Uncle in South Carolina has a pond FILLED with carp. All we do to catch them is lay on our stomachs on the dock, wait for them to suck on our thumbs and just grab them haha. They reproduce like nothing I've ever seen! Not to mention they feel insanely weird when they suck on your toes! -
[Edit] Yes, it is a pretty small pond. Certainly not a huge lake up further North. -

In the United States carp are used to dispose of particulates as in eat them at water treatment plants (sewage. Most of the evasiveness of them are escapees from flooded areas. It-s the same with some of the sucker fish out there as in the ones that can be fished all year with no limit. To me anyway to eat them is gross.

Common carp are not an invasive fish, they are a naturalized fish. There is scientific research that counters that assumption and those scientific findings. In fact, in some cases, they are a needed species because they are one of the few fish that eat Zebra Mussels.

Invasive?
The look like common carp to me, and they are not invasive.
I have to say that I disagree with over fishing species that aren-t invasive. Just because there-s no limit on carp it doesn-t mean that It-s cool to do this man.

My great great Uncle told me when I was a child, that Carp has hundreds of bones in it. You can't got all the bones out, so you shou just fry it hard, and you'll be able to eat the bones like sardine bones.

You eat the red meat and fry it? Its slimy and tastes of mud, u cut the best bits out and add spice its good. But whats left on the fish is a lot of fertiliser

Is it not illegal to discharge a firearm from a moving vehicle. Only allowed to shoot moving on water if your chasing a wounded duck. I could be wrong
