[River People BowFish'N]

Anyone else use these for bowfishing? Ever since my Florida trip in June, I tried this when I got back to Southeast Ohio. It does seem fairly accurate. Higher day rating=more fish seen
Here are some pics of fish from the last high rated days last week.

I know barometric pressures are also a factor, but haven't studied that part yet.

Most weather apps have barometric pressures indicated.

Lately it seems like the fish are lingering in the shallows like they are wanting the warm water. I am taking advantage of that!!! Haha

Fog is a problem here on the river from dusk to dawn this time of year, I couldn't sleep and went out around 4 am, last Sunday, didn't see many until the fog lifted. I could see great with the LEDs on my boat, fish just weren't out. Gar sightings have drastically declined as the temps dropped. I wish I was still seeing more of them. A normal night around 40 gar seen, lucky to see 2 this time of year, and I scratch my head wondering we're to find em now, they are not around brush, sandbars, creek inlets like the normally are. But the carp are still plentiful.

Got out for an hour tonight, charts were way off tonight... (Scratching head)

Should have been an active night, but it wasn't. Going for 4-5 hours tonight, charts read the same so we will see.

I'll let you know... Here is what it shows for today.

It is an app called "iHunt", it has other things like sounds and what not but, I think it was 2 or 3 bucks.

Seen a lot, missed a lot. I was shooting bad, real bad....

I just got in after a short run here, shot 7. It is 2 out of 5 on the charts for here. High numbers of fish seen, I think the cold front hitting here later tonight put em in a feeding frenzy.

Agreed. I had a great shoot on a low rated day. There has to be more to it. For example, it was 50 ° the other day with it going down to 30° that night, I think they feed heavy on the eve of a cold front, storm, etc.
