@bearniebearns Well it's pretty easy to spot the fish at night when the lights are in the water, but if you are bank shooting during the day, you will need polarized glases and then have the sun at your back while you stalk slowly. As far as the difference in bows. The newer bowfishing bows use stainless hardware for corrosion resistance and bows like the HydroStryke from Innerloc have a special setting on the modular that allows you to snap shoot like you would with a recurve or similar.
@bearniebearns Yup. You can use any bow as long as it has the regular screw holes that you would use to attach your sight or quiver. Thats where the real goes. You just want to use a bow between 35- 50 pounds. 35 or 40 would be best. The higher the weight the deeper tha rrow gets stuck in the mud and it just gets to be a pain. Plus you don't want to keep gettting pass throughs on the fish cause then you have to keep shoving the arrow back through the exit and entry hole to get the fish off.

I have two questions: How do you spot fish? And what is the difference between a normal compound bow and an bowfishing bow (without retriever)?
