Bowfishing around and in Knoxville, tn


Recommended Posts

Obviously for best results you probably need a boat but any locations or advice? I'm guessing Trolling volunteer landing would be a bad idea? LolSent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk 2


If you're ever down toward middle tn hit me up. I shoot as long as there are fish to shoot at. Not familiar with the Volunteer Landing, but we have some places that really draw attention when you're running lights and shooting behind 3-5 million dollar homes lol

Been down there a number of times in the last year, walking the greenway and have gone down to where people fish at the rowing club pier, not seen the first carp. Maybe they are all over at Calhouns itself.

 

During World's Fair you could just about walk on them across the water.

 

Melton Hill lake below the Solway Bridge is absolutely carp city, can't keep them of the line from the shore, but you won't see them in shallow enough water to shoot from shore unless they're spawning. Except: haven't been there for years, but if there's still any free land access to the few inlets, and they are still full of milfoil like back when, they rise to slurp the top of the milfoil.

 

And btw, out of this not muddy cold water, they are quite tasty, ate a ton of them one year when I camped there long term, ground them up into "carp patties". :)
