While pumping gas today there was a 20" Sea Ark with a white 200 Zuke and lights all over the front. So I had to talk to them. The man and wife and kid where coming back from Adesto ? SC. He told me the lights where LED and it looked like daylight when they crank it up. All was power by a whisper quite gas generator. Sea Ark built the cool aluminum platform on the front to stand on and shoot
They said they target flounder but get sharks and catfish
Wish I had taken a picture

Must be a great shot to hit a flounder in the head

It’s not hard. Easier to shoot flatties than other fish.

Edisto, SC just outside of Charleston
I’ve yet to meet a flounder bow fisher, but a lot of people here gig them at night with the platform/light setup you’re describing

If you don’t want to ruin the middle thick fillets it’s hard. Gigging them in the head from a moving boat is one thing...I have done a lot of bow fishing down here shooting carp for catfish bait years ago.

Shot placement isn’t any different shooting flounder in the face/gills as to shooting carp or whatever else you want in the gill/ head area. Looking at around a 4-5” circle on either.

Only difference is flounder typically aren’t moving and, in the case of where I shot them, shallower.

Shooting flounder with a bow is actually quite boring because it’s so easy.

I’d rather poke em in the head or across the gills...

Not everybody aims for head and gill area when shooting fish but then again, not everybody sticks founder in the head when gigging....
