 I think by the looks of it, you probably understand what's going on here, but just to let you know, I am going bow fishing today from the bank. You know, every time I've been bow fishing, I've done it from a boat standing over them like this, but I saw so many carp yesterday when I was cat fishing early morning. We got up early, we were about to ride down to the lake and see if these carp are still there. So I'm in a real rocky area, so I'm going to look for some sandy areas where I can fling an arrow and not destroy it. And we got a bucket mounted to the back of our bike. We're building a new garden bed over here. We want to fill it with vegetables and all sorts of stuff. So we're going to put logs, sticks, mulch, grass, all that, and then throw a couple of carpies in there. That way when we fill it in with the dirt, we've got some nice fertilizer, natural fertilizer down there. So let's get to the water and see if these carp are running ramp and take a few out. Already seeing carp. They're splashing as I'm riding by right here. It's just a little tube rush, I think. Oh yeah. You can see the shad up in the bushes right here. Pretty cool stuff. All right, I'm going to get my arrow knocked and ready to rock so close. Right here, tiny one. Just domed him. Pretty sweet, pretty sweet. There's another one. Oh my gosh. So close. All right, where are these carpies at? Those little gar. Pretty hard to hit. Couple of gar. Let's go see if we can find some carp. All right, guys, let's park it right here next to this hog wallow. That's a nice little pond right here. All right, I see some right here. It's right in a bush. I need it to come out just a little bit. Oh yeah, there we go. Hit behind the tree. Getting the old, hidden, crouching tiger, hidden dragon. All right, I'll get the bike over here and clean these things up. Try to find a couple more though. This is fun. It's fun. Fun shooting the bow on land, but it's also fun just knowing I'm taking some fish out that I really do not enjoy in this lake. Just saw a tail right in here. Carp tail. Looks like there's another one right there. Got him lassoed. Tell you what, now my bees are just cut off every time. Definitely one of the funnest bow fishing trips I've ever done because I'm stalking them on land. I'm like getting behind the bushes and sneaking up. You know, you gotta be real quiet. And I just, I like it a lot more than being in the boat. I think my favorite trip ever was going with Flair up in Missouri and getting some of those flying carp. We had one rod with us. It was nuts, but this right here just reminds me of stalking for deer or, you know, any land-based thing. It's pretty awesome. Continue my sneak here. See if I can find any more. Oh, that's white bass. I just heard white bass busting over here. I know that sound from a mile away. Can't be shooting those at the bow. Big no-no. How do I retrieve them? Should I just shoot them again? I don't want to do that. They're still alive. Barely. Oh, no, no, no. Don't you get away from me. The gore have mostly cleared out with the Shad's one. So we got an arrow right there. But the carp are still hanging around. So I'm going to go try a couple more areas where if I shoot an arrow, I'm never going to get it back. It's just weaved. I'm just waiting for it to go. I saw that fish. Just, I mean, it was wedged in there. I just couldn't get the right angle on it. Finally had to crouch down and a little bit lower. I swear shooting traditional bow has made me much better at this. In the bucket you go, house. There's one right there. There we go. Oh, he came off. Well, guys, I don't know if you could see what I had to do. I had to sneak through this brush. And then I had to clear some brush to get a clean shot. And then we made a clean shot. But I just blew right through the fish, I guess. So close. He got off. This is literally like stalking pigs. It's a lot of fun. Highly recommend. This might be the way to go, man. I'm sure you would just get a shaton in a boat. But fun factor, stalking them through the brush like this. Just going to watch out for them. No legged demon sausages. OK, new spot. Just spotted a big one at the water's edge. Just kind of riding through. There's a big dead gar. There's some rocks right here. Here's some activity over here. Let's see if we can get a couple more of these babies. Oh, I just heard a carp. Looks very sneaky. Yeah, a big carp spotted right here. Just got to be careful not to hit the rocks. See you, buddy. I don't do your mind. Don't disturb the others. I'll take them too. I hear them sucking right in here. There's one. He just saw me. I got the big one. Oh, he got off. There was a bunch. There was a bunch right there. It was like five. Just sucking. Can't believe I missed that one. Holy cow. Oh my gosh. Did I miss again? Stuck it in a root. Oh, I see you, buddy. I see you sucking. You threw that tree. Oh my gosh, he come off. What the heck? Got some flesh with him, though. Probably not going to make it. Oh, we shot a sack off, guys. We shot his daggum sack off. There's a little shad from the shad spawn. Got spawned up. I think what's happening here is my little sticker barb here has gotten stuck. It's gotten stuck in the down position. And I need to bend it out, but I don't have any pliers with me. I'm going through and then it's coming out. Stalking one. He got off too. Yep, that barb's just not holding. Looks like it should. Well, I just need to widen it out. What's happening is it's passed through so many times. It's like wedged itself down. It may retire it for the day. Go back and fix this thing. This is awesome, guys. I'm going to try one more little sector. See if I can pop a big one and then we'll get on the bike and head in. I see you, sir. I see a bunch of you. I actually think I missed that time. I missed to the right. Well, boys, that was a lot of fun. Mission accomplished. I wanted to go out there and poke some carp and a couple of gar. And I did, but mainly the carp, because I think that them just being up shallow, inadvertently even eating bass eggs in my home lake, I don't want that. I don't want that in any lake, quite honestly. And I've fished so many lakes over the past few years where there's not a shred of grass. There's no way you're going to get grass to grow because the carp are just, there's just so many. And even if it's not a grass carp that technically eats grass, it's still going to be picking at the vegetation, trying to get invertebrates, and killing the grass. That's a lot of times what you see these common carp and buffalo up in the bushes. They're grabbing little bugs and stuff, but they're also killing the bushes. I've both fished out of a boat a handful of times, but doing it from land was so much fun, guys. The bike was nice. It was nice and helpful where I could cruise around. But just getting off and sneaking around, getting around the bushes, I mean, it had that feel of like stalking pigs, you know, except they didn't have teeth and couldn't run very fast, but still got that same kind of feel. So a lot of fun. Which one is this? The Diamond Edge Sonar. Pretty good little bow. Pretty nice, nice little package. And I put like an old, this is a little bottle I had from years ago. Probably need to get a new one, upgrade some stuff, but the boat itself is pretty good. So I'm putting a bunch of big dead logs and things like that. We'll put mulch, grass, all that stuff. And then I'll throw a couple of these carp in there. Natural fertilizer. Okay, then put the topsoil on. Veggies growing out of the carp nutrients. Circle of life. Circle of life. That's how we do it here at the Treehouse. You guys know what to do. Thanks for tuning in. I'll see you on the next one.
