I was wondering if you could fish night tx's in a boat that's set up for bow fishing with all the lights around the front of it? Be kinda like sight fishing for bedding bass during the day time I guess. Also would it even be legal? I guess you could only have fishing rods and reels and bass baits and absolutely NO bow fishing equipment in the boat. What do you all think about this?
 
I don't see why it would matter. As long as you're not actually bow fishing like you said. Catch your fish, put them in a livewell to be cared for and weigh them.
 
It has been my experience the bright lights can spook the fish if they are in shallow water. I have seen shallow water bass take off from my partner turning on his flashlight. But what do I know. Try it and let us know how it works for you.
 
Just trying to find out if it's legal to fish with lights at night. Well heck I guess it is cause crappie fisherman do it all the time. lol Also trying to find out if it would be welcome in tx's.
