Hey Jim,

I used to be a very avid bow fisherman. Fishing corbina in the surf below Del Mar was my deal. I am very interested. Would you e-mail me the flyer.

It will give me a reason to break out my Martin re-curve. Rube Powell built it for me. ;D

Thanks,

John

John,

You know I used to work for Rube back when I was a kid making arrows up. The Balboa
Archery Range is named after him; great guy.

 

[NBK]

He is a legend!

I saw a flyer at El Cap reservoir last weekend,it's open to bow fishing.
Some of you guys might want to get some practice in.

I got my first bow from old Rube Powell. I have not had anyone bring that name up in a long time

Jim made me think of him. He was a crotchety old dude but he was the Extreme Bow Guy of his time.

Sounds like Rube is a San Diego legend.

John, I like your new profile picture. (Classic)

My wife and I did this several years ago in Big Bear and it was a blast. Used to put rubber tree leaves in the pool for practice. Shoot Low or you go right over them....

And use a pair of polarized sunglasses too. You can see right into the water.

The sunglasses are a must for sure...

First Post! And a subject dear to my heart! I have a new Oneida I rebuilt just for bowfishing I need to outfit. Can't wait to try it.
This is several years ago at the Big Bear shoot:

Welcome aboard Baja. Nice looking pick. Thanks for the cool post!

 

[BuckHunter]

Awesome rig. Ever fall in? ;D

 

[Baja_Traveler]

Haven't fallen in yet - but there were some times it was close! The outriggers make for a really stable platform though.

My brothers ran down to a local fishing hole in OC and took a few shots.

I was at work :'(

Strong work & nice picks.
