Why can't we fish this way?
« on: January 05, 2007, 06:24:58 PM »
Ok, OK, not many of us want to fish this way. But this is the American doing it quite close to us, in Oregon.  How do they justify it? Quite brutal way to fish actually.  >:(

I remember when I was younger seeing people fish like that in some of the drainage ditches of Pitt Meadows for carp. Was pretty cool to watch.

Doesn't look too sporting but that's me. I hope they eat what they kill.

Still have my old fishing arrow around somewhere. Brings back fond memmories. Nice way to tag a Carp for the table, though when I bow fished you could only go after Burbot. Found it a lot like fly fishing.

If carp got into the harrison or vedder, it wouldn't take long till people up there were advocating to do the same thing.

Carp have been in the Sumas for years so if they wanted to be in the Vedder they would have by now. Carp dont like the faster water and like the Sloughs. They are a bottom fish not too worried about them. Its the bass that people should be worried about.

As far as the video goes, its fine to me as long as it stays in the USA.

People have been bow shooting Carp in the Lower Rainland for decades.

Note the use of the past tense-I'm not sure if Carp are regulated as a Sports fish now-previously they weren't-it was open season so to speak. ::)

I used to do a lot of archery, but I never thought of using it as a fishing method!! :o  I would never do it myself, that is unless I could shoot bass!! ;D ;D

Well what's the difference between this, and spear fihsing in the chuck ?personally see it as a ligitimate fishing method, as long as they abide by the same quotas as everyone else.

Well I would rather see them spearing fish than using nets. Thats just my opinion.
