iamdrglass 15 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Can some one please post a picture of your fishing catty pouch. Also what materials are you using for the pouches. They are not common here in my area due to the fact that chumming is illegal. I am wanting to build one for a novelty item for my collection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Fishing catapult pouches vary widely depending on what your trying to put out. I cant say I know any fisherman who`ve made their own fishing `pult, we normally buy them off the shelf. Heres one to give you an idea... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fox-Power-Guard-Carp-Fishing-Catapults-Method-Multi-Bait-Distance-Boilie-/261511890236?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item3ce352c53c Quote Link to post Share on other sites

iamdrglass 15 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thanks for the replies. I do like those slingbow designs. They would be handy for shooting fish when they are way shallow. I know it is looked down upon over there but we do a lot of bowfishing for carp here. It is away to help manage our trout and bass fisheries. I enjoy it but also enjoy hooking the carp on rod and reel. I have been reading a lot about the Euro style of carp fishing and will be doing plenty this year. When I will post a photo of my fishing catty when it is built.

iamdrglass 15 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 That is the impression that I have gotten. Here in the states Trout and Bass are the prized species. Carp are starting to catch on with the fly fishing crowd. I personally go after them with fly rod and now getting into the spinning rods. I am past the point of wack and stack with my bow, but I still enjoy hunting the BIG ONES. I do believe it will be a up hill battle get carp listed as a game fish here. They are considered a invasive species in most waters. When I catch on rod and reel I release. When I shoot I put them under the vegi garden. This year I will try smoking them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
