Average Joe’s Bowfishing primarily targets rough fish species permitted for bowfishing in Minnesota. Common carp are the main focus due to their invasive nature, impressive size, and challenging pursuit. Other species include dogfish, or bowfin, known for their tough fight and resilience, as well as bullheads, which are smaller catfish commonly found in local lakes and rivers. While game fish like walleye, pike, and bass may be encountered, it’s important to remember that only non-game rough fish are legal targets. Guides place a strong emphasis on accurate species identification and encourage a cautious approach if there’s any uncertainty about a fish’s identity.
