Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2003 I kinda wondered about that myself cant wait to read what BD has to post on these species,should be interesting. I dont fish for bowfin(dogfish ) but every year a end up catching a dozen or so of them while fishing with crawdads for smallies. They put up a helluva fight and are not really a "friendly" fish to have in the boat lol. Most of the ones i catch on the au sable run about 8-10#. SD BTW welcome to the site HDS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2003 Just found a pic of a bowfin i caught this summer and thought i'd put it up.. Like i said i dont fish for them (mainly because i dont have much knowledge of them) but when one of these big ol ugly boys grabs your offering while fishing for smallies you deff. have a fight on your hands SD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
