    When you going after Koi? I've have a loose invite to shoot some, I could follow up but won't be till summer, I have seen them in the Arapuni dam, when water skiing, river below Karapiro as well, my daughter caught one fishing with cheese as a bait in the river at Saint Andrews by the golf course, Hamilton North.
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    Not until February, do you bow fish or just blast them with the shotgun?
    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.
