Flounder Gigging & Bowfishing: Ancient History to Today

Flounder Gigging & Bowfishing: Ancient History to Today
Flounder gigging and bowfishing have progressed exponentially over the past 50 years. However, it has been around for a much longer time period. The Karankawa Native American people are among the first on record to gig flounder. They settled the Texas Gulf Coast from the early 15th century through the 17th century. They commonly used torches fueled by slatherings of tar and oil from natural seeps as lights and sharpened cane stalks as spear/gigs in their floundering. Bowfishing is believed to have been around even longer, dating back to the times of ancient groups of people such as the Aztecs, Inuits, and Aborigines successfully shooting fish with their bows.

The focus of our trip this weekend is to prove that you don’t need the $20,000+ boat or $900 bowfishing bow...

Bowfishing: 6 Solid Tips to Getting Started {Bowhunters Will Love This}

Bowfishing: 6 Solid Tips to Getting Started {Bowhunters Will Love This}

  If you're an avid bowhunter, the spring and summer months can be excruciating. Flinging carbon at foam in preparation for a season that remains months away can get downright dull. Fishing helps scratch the outdoor itch, but nothing compares to shooting your bow. That was my attitude until I discovered bowfishing, which quickly became my passion and now summers don't last nearly long enough. The rivers and creeks became my home away from home, and somehow the late night spotlighting trips started competing with slinging arrows from the river bank.  I encountered innumerable surprises along the way—many of which I...
