I am Jacob McDonald, son of Lil Bit. Some of yall already know me. I am an avid bowfisherman and also am a knife maker. I live in Calallen right on the Nueces River and shoot gator gar from my backyard. I also catch crabs and freshwater prawns from my backyard. Here are a few pics of what I have shot while bowfishing.

Yes it is. Lake Dunlap is full of them. I only shoot a few at the start of the night to get a little practice in.

I'm up river from Labonte. If you bowfish come on out here since you know basically how to get here. I also catch carp and buffs and catfish out here. The carp and buffs are bait for the crab trap and once I start setting juglines and trot lines I'm gonna bait them with carp and buffalo.

I've probably fished by your place a time or two them. My parents used to live on the river at old San Pat. I've fished the river from the dam down to Labonte park. I grew up in Corpus, graduated from Tuloso.
