This board is mostly for spearfishing/freediving. But, I've shot my fair share of carp with the bow & got a few with a hand spear (much harder).

My favorite way is in a canoe, putting a 3' x 3' section of dock in the front and standing on top of that...can get a bit tippy, but you'll see a lot more up high. Wear polaroid glasses (see 2x the fish). If you must go from shore, go slow & stock your pray, or stand in one place. They can "feel" you walk & I've had them spook from us talking.

One of my best times from shore was up a tree...I could see them much better from that vantage point.

As with everything, safety first, be legal second, have fun third & share the outdoor experience if you can!
