Hey guys, just wondering if anyone could help me out with some info.

I'm a keen fisho as well as bow hunter, and was wondering if anyone here has been bow fishing?

If so are the rules/law the same.

Obviously I don't wanna just pull up at my local bridge and start plugging bull sharks, though I do know a great place, (don't think the locals would be to pleased.)

Any info would be great.

you would have to know a place yourself as you would only be able to use that on private property thats at least 40 acres plus that the owner konws you and allows this would be illegal to use around public accessable areas

found a great web site, Aus bow hunters association, according to them it varies state to state, but ow fishing comes under the same rules as spear fishing.

Im not sure about a normal bow but with a cross bow you require an M class licence and tugger is spot on about the 40 acre rule (same basic rules as a rifle). Best bet is to go to your local cop shop and get a (hopefully) straight answer.

Mate what tugger says is correct carry that weapon in public or use near a public place and youre a gonner this would also apply out in the bays where there could be a danger to members of the public.....sorry

Yeh I hail from way out west on the Barwon river. The Euopean Carp are a clasic target for Bow Hunter Fishers out there. Mind you I do recall blowing the begeesus out of the water with big firearms that i had in those days, Carp were my targets at the time predominantly because they were noxious and sometimes hover near the surface of the water.

Not sure of the laws in densley populated locations though.

I think I'll leave the bow fishing and just find some property owners out west and ask if I can hunt deer and Ferrel's on they're land instead. P180510_10.JPG
