Crossbow fishing

Crossbow fishing is akin to handbow fishing in that a line must be attached to the bolt to facilitate it's retrieval - hopefully with a fish attached from time to time. Most fishing crossbows come pre-equipped with a fishing reel attached (to the underneath), making for fairly easy retrieval. Special bolts are required as well.

Some fishing crossbows also come with a mounted scope, though you may find this an impractical addition. Spotting a fish moving underwater through a small scope is quite cumbersome in most instances - you may prefer the freedom of using the crossbow's sights to zero in on your watery target.

Most crossbow fishermen practice their sport from a boat, as this is really the only practical way to reach your quarry.

Be sure to check your states' regulations for crossbow fishing, as some states do not allow it. A special license will also probably be required.

Good luck in your search for fishing crossbows.
