@Dyapoyable I got my compound bows rigged for bowfishing when I was Managing Editor of both Bow & Arrow Hunting magazine and Gun World Magazine. I don't think there are bowfishing clubs in the Philippines, although I know there are archery groups. They are quite pricey. My other bowfishing set with solid aluminum risers cost me almost $3,000. I use my bowfishing rig with a HydroGlow underwater lights and they work great for mahi-mahis (dorados).

It's great at night, when you could not troll for blue marlins or giant bluefin tuna. I normally troll first using 2-speed Daiwas and Penns loaded with 130-lb Spiderwires, 400-lb leaders, then jig using 400g butterflys and at night I play around with my compound bow. You could clearly see a ton of baitfish and squid circling the light and you would have a blast hitting giant mahi-mahis.

[acordmasters]

Be careful with giant tuna, though. As you can see in one of the photos, I hit one in the head and the fiberglass arrow didn't penetrate the tuna's skull. My draw is set to penetrate and go through a big whitetail buck, as required by law. It would easily penetrate and exit the body of a water buffalo. But the tuna head is as hard as titanium, it didn't penetrate at all. Make sure you hit the fish in the head or you risk getting pulled by the fish and you have to quickly cut your line.

[arvenjay]

@acordmasters thanks for the unexpected and immediate reply sir..i am from pangasinan. i am a businesman who's looking for a hobby and a club..i am very happy for your positive reply..thanks

[acordmasters]

@arvenjay I am currently in Florida but I try to go home once a year. I fish in Pangasinan with those guys you see in the picture (with a giant yellowfin tuna). It's a blast fishing with these guys and they've become my great friends. They just called me a couple of weeks ago and they caught three blue marlins more than 150 kilos (300-plus pounds) each. They fight giant fish with free lines, no fishing rods, just plain, brute strength. If you want, I can contact you when I get there next year.

[arvenjay]

pwede po ba sumama sa fishing? kaso beginer lang po

[acordmasters]

@arvenjay sure. Nasaan ka ba naka-base ngayon?

[muckdiver]

wow!!! bow and arrow tuna.... parang masarap sumama mag spearfishing. thanx for sharing. take care :)

[acordmasters]

@muckdiver sige sama ka sa amin!! Have you tried spearfishing with Hydroglow greenlight? Just drop the underwater light next to your boat and you wouldn't have to go far from it. You'll see giant mahi-mahis, tuna and even blue marlins circling the darker areas of the light. The giant mahi-mahis (dorados) aren't afraid of the light and they go after the schools of squid playing around the green light. It would be like child's play and you'll have a blast.
