The bowfishing thread
- Thread starter sbuse

It depends on the state. It is illegal here in mn to use carp for bait.
Also I'll take this moment to point out that everyone should check local laws. Most states have bow fishing open for state wide use, but some cities have a "no discharge of weapons" policy and bows are often included in that law. No need for people to get arrested for trying out a wicked cool sport.

Definitely. I discussed that issue with a Conservation Officer a couple weeks ago, the state regulations specify certain areas of rivers as legal. So per regulation, it's legal to bowfish the river that goes through town up to the south side of the lowhead dam across it. However, that dam is maybe 1/2 mile or less inside city limits. I was told that even on waterways, city ordinances still apply. We've got an ordinance against discharging anything that propels a projectile with deadly force. Technically, a lot of sports should be illegal inside the city limits as well, lol.
On the other hand, was told by a lawyer, that property laws do not apply on water, as a coworker of mine has problems with trespassers on his lake, and found out he could do nothing. Once they're on the water, he can't touch them, as no one can "own" the water, originally intended to absolve landowners from liability in case of accidents.
Interesting contrast isn't it?
How that works is public water is to the average high water mark. If you had a creek that went through your property I could walk it and you could do nothing if I accessed it legally. That being said the public water is public property witch is governed by public laws. If that falls within city limits it is under that cities regulation for public property. In tern the discharge regulation. It is a complex list of terminology but that is how it breaks down.
Oh here is a fun fact if something like a dock is left on public lakes even if it is connected to your land it technically becomes public property after 24hrs. So if you were to enter the water from a public launch you could go onto someone's dock and they can't say anything. Also if the land is not posted per state regulations it is not legally posted and you can't be charged with tress passing. Now is all this fun facts ethical to push the limits...no, but it is how the law is written.

That happens. It happens less with the tips I posted. They are worth the money.
