I've been able to go bowfishing at night once, up at Markland, and all I saw was gar.
Thank God for that! They might be fun for bow-fisherman, but silver carp are the LAST thing we need in the Ohio. They have totally ruined the fishing in the Illinois River. Right now, they estimate that 9 out of 10 fish in that river are Asian Silver carp.
