Crossbow Fishing ?

Post by cdwester »

Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone has tried on this crossbow fishing kit on a Matrix. It's legal for carp in Ontario and looks like fun. Thought I could rig it up to my 405

Without even looking at it you better have some very deep water and a lot of line if you're planning on using a 405 for bowfishing. An ibex of vixen may be more fitting.

Double check your information. I don't think we can use crossbows for bowfishing in Ontario.
Be fun though!

It's legal in Ontario, but only for Carp.
