Bow Fishing Makes for High-Speed Special |
FRANKFORT, KY (KDFWR) - Quick shot artistry is difficult enough with a rifle
or shotgun, but try archery. Add to that being on the water in the dark
of night. Along with this feature on bow fishing, "Kentucky Afield" TV
spotlights a species beginning to thrive in our western lakes and
timely tips on buying your first bow. Watch this weekend, August 4 and
5, on KET.
Dan Richardson joins host Tim Farmer to take aim on bighead carp and
other exotic fish below Kentucky and Barkley dams. It's pulse pounding
action as these outdoorsmen have a two-second window to aim and claim
in this different take on fishing.
Also at Lake Barkley, a species anglers circle in red is redear
sunfish. Farmer takes notes from Jack Devor on his homemade jigs and
baits that sweeten the catch.
Lastly, with deer archery season just a month a way, we follow Clinton
Hill, 13, who is ready for his first bow. For archers of any age, when
you get the right advice - bull's eye!
