They make fish tips. Someone said that they have gar and carp. He said he always uses carp. What kind of fish are you after?

I may be wrong here, but I think it is illegal to bow fish for catfish?!?! It would probably be best if you are new to get a kit. I think muzzy makes one and it comes with the reel, line, arrow, and head. They make a special head for bowfishing, and they make a fiberglass arrow specially for bowfishing I think also. Good luck

im lookin into it my friend says to get a gar tip and the fish will stay on your arrow and wont get off so thats what to get on that and on the reel you can geta reel mount and get a 808 Zebco and put on there together thats like 20 bucks the arrow ranges from 7 to 25 bucks and the line is about 6 bucks. you might goto google.com and type in bowfishing and look at them peeps setups

Go to a bow shop and get the proper bow fishing arrow, tip and reel. It's a blast, but I wouldn't recommend using your hunting bow, b/c of the water, mud, etc. I have an old junk bow that I use. I just throw it around and don't worry about hurting it.

Actually, i think you can shoot mud cats. As for channels and blues im not sure.

Start with a kit. Drum reels work best i think, unless you wanna spend more money. Try to get arrows that have steel leaders on them, or put leaders on your arrows. Look for shallow water with good access from the bank. Normally below lake dams or near spillways is good. If youve got a boat, go to shallow coves in lakes and cruise slowly and quietly. Other than that, hold on.

Also, dont tie the line to your reel or bow! Leave it loose so if the fish takes all the line(and hes really big) he wont take your bow with him. I know a buddies bow is at the bottom of the ocean after shooting a 300 pound grouper.
