Boyd Lake Bonanza III - June 28, 2014
The 2014 bowfishing tournament series continued at Boyd Lake State Park and 8 teams showed up to put a hurt on the fish. Unfortunately, the fish had other plans. The COBF’s third trip to Boyd Lake turned out to be another tournament that left people hoping for more fish. In total, 28 fish were shot.
Most teams reported little fish action for the first few hours of the event, with carp numbers dwindling to near nothing after the 1 o’clock hour, most teams turned to shooting at the gizzard shad that are plentiful at this lake. The lake bottom is covered with very healthy vegetation, part of that was a weird layer of thick moss that proved to be an excellent place for carp to take cover in and also swallow arrows.
By the 5a.m. checkout, most teams looked quite beat down after a battle, as the long day and longer night took their toll. Even with the fish totals, everyone was still excited to have been a part of another night tournament at Boyd Lake; all mentioned that they are still looking forward to the last tournament of the 2014 season.
We would like to thank everyone who came out to participate, all the Boyd Lake staff, and all of our generous sponsors who provided some awesome prizes.
