I am new to the sport and I live here on Blackshear but do not know anybody that bowfish here. I would like to bowfish Lake Blackshear, Flint River, Ocmulgee, Maybe Eufala. All are within reasonable driving distance.

Do you guys ever bowfish these GA southern lakes or Rivers?

Any of the major lakes and rivers in Georgia are good bowfishing. Concentrate on shallows, structure and especially grass beds for carp and gar.

ClarkHill and Savannah river are my hotspots! Several hundred lbs on good night! Catfish every year around 50 lbs...but like Shawn said..any major lakes and rivers...clearer water the better

I thought catfish were only legal on the Savannah River, unless I read the Regs wrong..Which is very possible.

Weiss is a very good lake it is very shallow all over and the grass beds are full of carp and gar. It is not unusual to go in a night and take a few hundred pounds or so. Will try to post some pics later.

Northwest Kentucky! Kentucky Lake, Lake Barkley, and many other creeks and small waters northwest of Clarksville, Tn. My group have been known to slay some good 55lb Grass Carp! Pics coming some!
