Bowfishing May 18th 2024 Saginaw Day Spawn

One of the best day on the water in 40 plus years. LOTs of big fish to choose from . It's my second trip with my new Dead Wake Leviathan lever action bow. Shot 2 barrels of fish in 3 hours easily.

We were out the same day a little south of you. 2 barrels from the channels in Couple hours. We shot a couple females that were up close to 30 I would guess

Have you been shooting that area for a long time? The reason I ask is it seems that the lower water levers are changing the location / areas that I am seeing fish. In other words that they are not just further out in the water from high water levels they are in different locations all together. I have only shot Quananicasse a few times to the west of the river. Never shot south of Fish point.

In the small tournament this year, I was taking a few shots at a gold carp near bay city that kept slipping away as I was chasing him around. Eventually gave up on it but would have kept after it if I had known how rare it was. I'm fairly newer into bowfishing and the guys told me at weigh in how rare it was.

There are LOTs of Goldfish being 2ish pounds or less to the very large being maybe 3 pounds. If you seen a Gold Carp being 8 or more pounds that is incredible. I have spent hundreds of hours out on that bay over 40 years time and new ever caught a glimpse of a Gold Carp . I have heard and see people shoot Coy Fish which are cool but are not Gold Carp. I have shot 2 fancy fin aka butterfly goldfish which are really cool. A fish like you mentioned might stay in that area so if I was you I would try again and again. Good Luck I hope you get it.

Me and my wife are looking to come up there in a couple weeks to bowfish. Is there a ramp or area that you would recommend? Just found your channel and love the videos.

water level is very low and has changed everything in the location of the fish. If you want a best case odds Sebewaing launch and try shooting around the mouth of the river.
