Daytime Bowfishing with a Mini Crossbow

- I wanted some gar ball appetizers for a fish fry, so instead of trying to catch'em with a rod and reel. I set out after'em with the mini crossbow. I have to admit I like this style of fishing much better!
Thanks for watching!!!!!

OMG! This is a riot to watch⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Keep it up
Thanks!
speargunners train on drink bottles
cap it of with some air and weighted anchor and retrieval line... or throw a car rim in the water with little chain and run the rope from shore through the top link and u can pull the rope to lower the bottle under the water to practice surface and sub water shots? have large knot at the bottle side so u can pull the car rimm bk to you so you can take you stuff home

Lol, that fish came back for more😂😂🤣🇺🇸🌹🩸🕊️🙏🏽
I was mind boggled when I worked out that I had shot the same fish twice.
@@TheWaterSwatters one shot too many😂😂🤣😂
Забавно что я будучи в России сейчас присматриваюсь именно к этому арбалету и смотрю тесты на него от....я полагаю американца))) Глобализация еще не совсем уничтожена оказывается, даже для нас))) Peace for the World🌍
No disrespect by any means, but I'll stick to bass, crappie & catfish. My grandma used to can (pressure cook) red horse, buffalo & gar bout 40 or so years ago when I was growing up. My grandpa would bring them in. I wouldn't know how to do any of that stuff now. As always a great video!!
Shoot none taken, I'm gonna eat what I like and wouldn't expect anyone else to do any different. I only like these types of fish cooked up certain ways so I completely understand!
Seems like that has the right amount of power. My arrows dig deep into the mud every time I miss.
brilliant vid bro hello from the uk
Thanks!
Good luck on getting them Boys to film for you 😆 great upload.
Wow great video bro! That first Gar you got made it look easy! I know it’s Harder then it looks! At least you got some fish not all gar but something is better then nothing! 🤙👍😎
Thanks!
Bro I could FR watch you Shoot water all day! Hell you aint even gotta hit no fish! Lol. Great video
Lol that's good because I tend to miss a lot!
Another great crossbow video! That mini crossbow is freakin awesome! U were hitting those Buffalo. I went bow fishing one time and it seemed like those gar were the hardest to hit especially moving like they were in your vid. 🏹🔥👍
Yeah I'm much better at hitting them when they're laying still but I sure like flinging arrows at them when they're swimming by!
@@TheWaterSwatters I’m the same way lol. I’ll be shooting every time. I’ve been thinking about getting me a bow fishing bow For when I go to the river. But that mini-crossbow is awesome. How much is that crossbow?
I’d love to see you on the ballista bat with folding stock 😊
In my country it's call Maser Ikan, you are a good shooter my be next time you can shoot a little bit down from the target becouse the light is bending when trough the waters so what happens when you saw the fish its really not there. Try to put the stic on the glass ithink you know what I'm trying to say
Those small crossbow are just amazing, for the price I don't know anything that comes close, I wish we had bigger models, I'd gladly see a low priced competitor for the bat crossbow, I think it's fair to expect a 160 lb. crossbow double it's size for double the price ? I'd happily pay that.
Good job 👍👍
That's cool video amigo interesting.
Thanks!
They sell shorter versions of those fishing bolts that fit the bolt retainer better. The retainer sits on the head and holds them a little more securely. And they fly a little faster
Looks like a good time 👍😅
I really enjoy it!
Love this video. The sides of those gar are so thick, I half wonder if you didn't hit more of them than you think, but just not square enough that they bounced off. Hope you plan on a clean and cooking video of those gar balls. Gar are protected here in Ohio so we don't have any here.
I may have grazed a few, some of 'em sure caused a ruckus as that arrow went by. I did make a cleaning video I'll post it next week!
That looks like a lot of fun And I’m gonna have to catch a couple gu to make some gar balls and give them a try I caught one the other day and I turned it loose
Gar balls ain't no joke. Lol one of those foods most everyone turns their nose up at but when I fix it everyone eats!
You must have the sweetest wife in the world following you around with the camera. lol
She's pretty cool!
Good
Great Video man It looks like a lot of fun shooting those gar.
You ain't a kidding, it's a blast!
Parabéns meu amigo estamos juntos
I really enjoy watching this video, awesome crossbow shooting my friend 👍how you cook those gars ? thanks for sharing stay safe and after the fish 👊 God bless🙏
I make gar balls, it's potatoes, onion, jalapeño and the fish. In a nut shell ya just mix it, make it into balls then batter and fry it.
Love your videos just found ya.
Thanks!!
The same one twice 😆 Dude I was feeling your pain on those misses. It’d be a lot easier if they just sat still lol
I couldn't believe that one got back in the water and let me shoot him again. Lol yeah my average goes way up when they sit still that's why we let them ducks land too 🤣
@@TheWaterSwatters A man has to get what advantage he can lol
Ótimo vídeo amigo
Gracias!
Very cool vid. Which crossbow is that? Stay safe…
That is a M48 Hell Hawk 80lb
get some 1000grt paper and smooth the bolt ole where ur line is --- or use steel leader then line
Hi,A suggestion for your bow fishing arrow...i would file or grind of the rough top part used for giving you grip pulling it out of fish, other wise it will wreck the slide rail on your bow....
You're right it is eating away at the rail but not as bad as I thought It would when I first seen them bolts. Thats why I won't shoot them out of that Ballista Bat. Probably should file them down, I've just been lazy.
@@TheWaterSwatters you are right to not use them on your bat. Yep it is the same little Brahma of a crossbow. I won't let no one else even touch mine. lol, learned the hard way. Now i lend no one nought..Good hunting bruv.
@@tonyjacobs7088 I really like it, I've shot a few squirrels and it works well. I got big plans for it in the future!
Yep bruv look after it . i do not let anyone touch mine stuff after a bad experience letting an x friend use a laptop and spilt liquid on it and destroyed it.
I purchased from "wish shopping platform". a mini cross bow about a year ago. Chinese built but wow what another mad machine. it is a recurve called Mini Lie Sun . It is stainless steel body with spring steel limbs. It came out of the box powerful , accurate and quality build. I put the steel cables on a different way to the instructions after firing a score of practice bolts through it and saw the potential for a small game tool that fitted into my pocket that is how small it is.I purchased the model with forward facing limbs like a crabs pincers are, after filing the trigger catch to make it a little heavier pull than an hair trigger as the way i re cabled it made it a 45lb pull which made the trigger hard to pull. Wow i was blown away at the accuracy and power of this little crossbow. I also purchased another make mini because it had a red dot pointer on board after searching for days for a sight that would fit my bow but could not find one anywhere on the net.It fitted perfect, i found a company that sold 3" two flighted plastic bolts, so i bought an 100 in case they stopped selling them which has happened i cannot find the company now, so that was a good move.
after sighting it in i can get an inchish grouping continuously and after firing it at 60 ft away from a joint of pork and getting a depth of 2" into the flesh i decided to go hunting for small game to test it out real time.
i am a pot poacher because it is illegal to hunt here with bows. But hey oh Acts/Statutes are fraud so f em.
Of i went to see what was about in the area. I have actually killed a Munjack Deer with a spot on heart shot, the quarry only ran 300yds before dropping and dying. I cannot believe now what a cracking little crossbow this is. I paid £39 pounds for it and have noticed they are now £60 .00 to buy and still worth that price all day long. I would not part with mine for any money.
There is a video review of the same model but with the usual back facing limbs.I will send the link in a few minutes so you can check it out if you would like to see the this model in action.
Anyway i like your channel and the content. take care to you and yours. Happy Hunting you guys in the USA do not know how lucky you are to be able to go off hunting..👍
@@TheWaterSwatters LINK youtu/be.ziZ_FgGnEI......cracking pocket poachers tool...
What type of mini crossbow do you shoot because that look fun
This one is a M48 Hell Hawk 80lb limbs but any 50lb or 80lb bow with a rail on the bottom to zip tie a reel to would work.
Hi, sir, my darts always jump off the cross bow when shot and don't fly straight.. How could you be of help, please? I've got an MTech 80lb pistle cross bow.
I just not sure....I haven't had trouble with that. Sometimes when the darts are bent they act silly after hitting the water. I just bend them straight and go back at it.
I’m guessing you weren’t missing, you were probably glancing off their armor like scales.
I like that theory, makes me out to be a better shot lol!
You need to do a shoot, clean & cook - bother share your gar-balls & Buffalo strip recipes,,,thanks....new sub here...👍👍👍👍👍×2
Shoot thanks!!! I did one... I think it was titled big fish hunting catch & cook. I also have a fish cleaning video on carp. I do buffalo up the same way.
Where did you get that bow I have seen a couple like it but I haven’t seen that one before
A fella names Tristian sent me this one. It's a M48 Hell Hawk I've seen a few on Amazon.
Mantap😀👍🏽
Do you prep? With everything going on you might want to pick up some potassium iodide tabs and pectin maybe a good gas mask plus filters for both the mask and for your tap water. Your awesome and I want you to be ready for all that might come with the world going bat $h&t and all. Be safe keep posting. ,,👌👍
I don't prep really. I do study and pratice simple things that I think we should all know. Like how to store meat without refrigeration, fur tanning, fire making and things like that. We didn't even miss a lick when the store shelves went empty a couple years ago because most of the meat we eat is deer and fish and we had a freezer full.
@@TheWaterSwatters that would make a good video series!
Will the Ballista Bat shoot those slingshot stainless steel fishing bolts you use with the hellhawk crossbow? I was wondering cause you cant find crossbow fishing arrows at ballista or william tell website or ebay or amazon. If the stainless steel slingshot fishing arrows work i would just use those. Appreciate any help. Thanks brother.
It will shoot them but they will dig into the bows rail. The back is rough and acts like sand paper I wouldn't do it.
Be cheaper to buy ya a little 80lb bow and use it to fish with. They work very well with the little metal darts and when it messes up the rail it's all good!
@@TheWaterSwatters Yeah I saw those knurled ends. I thought if I grind those down and make them smooth it might not scratch the arrow groove as bad. Thanks for letting me know they fly out of the ballista bat though.
@@jamesgaszak3685 you'll have to let me know if ya figure that out. I was gonna try it but if you grind off the rough edge it makes the arrow sit funky because the back is smaller diameter than the front. I also thought about a little electrical tape but haven't tried it.
Anyway if ya figure it out I'd sure be interested those little metal darts are cheap. Ya loose a $10 bill every time ya shoot a rock with a billista fishing arrow.
@@TheWaterSwatters I think duck tape will cause drag on the metal arrow. I'm thinking instead of tape, wrap fishing line in the two back grooves where the knurling is. Just wrap it so it sticks out past the knurling. Fishing line shouldn't scratch the rail, it's water proof, and it's cheap.
Brother, what kind of mini crossbow is that. I will definitely be purchasing one very soon.
This one is a M48 Hell Hawk 80lb limbs. The little fishing arrows are made for slingshot. I just cut an old rod handle off and zip tied it to the bottom of the bow so I could attach the reel.
Odds - 1:10,000,000..............
do you use Zebco micro reel or regular-size spincast?
I use a full size zebco 33 with 80lb braided line.
Maybe you need to go back to the open faced reel? This was an awesome video. Someday do a gar cleaning video, they must be like cutting through steel.
You may be onto something. There is almost no drag on the line as it spools out of that spinning real but I was always fighting to keep it untangled. I actually did do a video on cleaning a gar, I just got to get it edited. I'll post it next week.
Hi, love watching you and wish I could get a fishing cross bow... Would you graciously give me one, please?? 🙏
What lb. test do you use
How much that crossbow cost?
I think you can get one for about $60. Tristan @LToutdoorsman sent me this one!
The little fishing arrows I order off the Wal-Mart app they cost about $7 apiece
@@TheWaterSwatters ok thanks a lot amigo
Is this legal? I've always wanted to try bow fishing but after my accident I don't think my shoulder would allow me to pull the bow back. So would love if this was a thing I could do.
It's legal in Oklahoma, can't say for sure about other states.
I figured it would be state specific. But I'm really excited this is a thing. I'm in Colorado currently but will be in Kentucky early next year. So I'll have do some research. Is it by chance only certain fish in Oklahoma?
@@mysteriohunter it is, we're only allowed to shoot non game fish
@@TheWaterSwatters ahh OK may need to wait till I get to Kentucky.
What crossbow is that that you're using ?
It's a M48 Hell Hawk 80lb
@@TheWaterSwatters thanks man, definitely gonna try pick on up now
Ummm 😅
False
Great vid ! I just got the same crossbow. It's bloody amazing. I'm going to set it up the same way for fishing pike and carp in the spring. I don't know how deep your lake is, but I'm thinking if you could get in there with waders...🙂 Thank's man.
Shoot yeah, I bet it will work great for ya! I try to stay out of the water right in that spot. Lol if you dip your pinky toe in the will muddy up the water for the rest of the day.
