You can start simple with a trolling motor, Q-beam spotlight, and 12 volt battery. We did that for many years and killed many fish. The next step would be a generator with halogen lights, like the 500 Watt work lights, just make sure you have enough generator to power them. A raised platform is another common addition. Aluminum flat bottom boats are the choice for most. Then you can progress on into fan boats and air boats for the real hardcore.

A regular fishing license is required in most states, as is the case in Alabama, but check regulations for specifics, a hunting license may be required in some areas. See similar questions...

Bowfishing combines the skill of archery will the thrill of fishing.

Quite simply, bowfishing is fishing with a bow and arrow. See similar questions...

Why, the highest possible level, of course. All you need to do is rush out to Hallberg-Rassy and they will lovingly make for you a beautiful creation. The teak will shine and sparkle; the sails will flex magnificently as they do their work, and the hull will gleam with the pride of its creators ... Quality in material things is a very interesting characteristic; it's hard not to love it, and to think everything you own should have that magical touch of greatness. See similar questions...

Bowfishing tournaments are a lot of fun. There are basically two types, numbers (total number of fish) and big fish, like a Big 20 (biggest 20 fish). It's a great way to meet other bow fishermen and get ideas on boats, etc. See similar questions...

One particularly strange thing I've noticed on rec.boats is that there is an amazing amount of attention paid to boat names. Perhaps this is because a boat name is one of the few periods where everyone absolutely has to come up with something sounding creative and original. I remember well when my family bought a 13' Boston Whaler together. There were two major factions in the family, it being a coming together of two formerly-fractured halves, and each half wanted their own name or else. See similar questions...

In general, no, loading the boat the night before a trip or sleeping on the boat prior to departure is not permitted while we are docked in port. You may load the boat the night prior to the trip or sleep on the boat only with prior permission from the captains in advance of the charter. For special trips such as overnighters with early morning departures, exceptions to this policy may be made on a case-by-case basis. See similar questions...

If no such certificates are issued in your home country, you will be required to present a reference from your yacht club verifying your ability to sail. Also the skipper and co-skipper will be asked to complete and sign an official self-declaration form, stating their sailing competence. See similar questions...

You will want to notify the police of the unauthorized hydrant use. The Columbus Police non-emergency number is 645-4545. Also, our Distribution Shop will want to get more information, please call them at 645-7788. NOTE: There may be times (extremely warm weather) when the Columbus Division of Fire will open hydrants to allow children to cool off in the water. When they authorize the opening of hydrants, there is normally a press release to that effect. See similar questions...

This is a matter of personal preference. The retriever reel is probably the most popular reel. It has no drag, no button to push, and rarely tears up. The disadvantage to is that it's slower to get fish in and many times the line falls out and gets tangled in things. These reels use the Muzzy extreme type line or Brownell 400# Fast Flight works extremely well too. Some prefer the push button spincast type reel. It uses the fast flight 200# line on a reel seat.

Yes. The future of our sport depends on having organized numbers of sportsmen band together for a common cause. This is what we use to fight the anti's. It's also a great way to meet people that you have something in common with. A group like the Bowfishing Association of America is a great organization to join and I encourage all bowfishermen to join. See similar questions...

After Baal was published, McCammon wrote The Night Boat, and Avon accepted it for publication. But then an Avon executive heard about a movie that had something to do with Nazis living underwater. He assumed that the storyline of The Night Boat was too similar to the movie, so he decided Avon would not publish McCammon's novel. McCammon scrambled for something else to sell and managed to write Bethany's Sin in about 3 months. See similar questions...

Reservations are essential. Especially during the busiest times of the year. You might try and call at the last minute but, to plan a trip like this, you should plan well in advance and buy your tickets or, at least call to make sure there are space left. I personally, wouldn't go without reservations. See similar questions...
