It's at Riverside Boat Ramp, which is next to Riverside park off of Hardy McManus Rd. in Evans, GA. The shoot is from 8-3. It's a numbers shoot, $10 per shooter (2 or 3 man teams) and $10 per boat optional big fish pot.

Where is Riverside Park off of Hereford Farm Rd? Is there another Hereford on the other side of Washington Rd?
I cant find it on Google, but theres a boat ramp by some ball fields off of Hard McManus just about Furys Ferry... Is that it?

I'm not bad mouthing any of you guys, but I wish yall would pass along the importance of not shooting the gamefish, I know theres bowfishermen in that section wearing out the bass and bream population and its not right! Please try and set some folks straight for us that use rod and reel!! I personally like to go bow fishing, but for catfish and suckers and such, release happy kids thumping every bass and bream they see is adding up quick....!!!

I have to agree with Thompson. We stress not shooting gamefish and not leaving fish at boat ramps. The reasone there is less fish in that section of the river is due to the poor oxygen. The dnr is in the process of putting in a pipe above the Edited to Remove Profanity ----Edited to Remove Profanity ----Edited to Remove Profanity ----Edited to Remove Profanity ---- to put more oxygen in the lake which will put more in the river.

This is another post I was willing to let slide. But...
I too do not think anyone is "targeting" game fish. It's too much fun being able to shoot the 95% of the fish that we see that are legal to shoot. I'm always amazed at the fact that in a night of bowfishing, only 5% of the fish we see are game fish, yet those are enough to attract the mass majority of fishermen.
bigkga69, it might interest you to know that during this particular shoot, I saw many more bass than usual, a few of which were what you would classify as trophy bass in the 5-10 lb range. They were all on the west side of the island just down stream from Charlie Norwoods old house. Next time you are on the river, give that area a try.
It's a shame people always ASSUME the worst. In reallity, bowfishing actually benifits game fish by removing rough fish. And, serious bowfishermen do all we can to police our sport. After all, as sportsmen, we are all on the same team.
Enough said.
