The fiancee and I were on the boat in the Schuylerville area yesterday afternoon. Fishing was ok, caught a few lmb during the short time we fished. We were creeping out of some slop near the shoreline and we saw a bunch of carp rolling around, turtles diving, baitfish everywhere. Then I saw what I thought was a carp right next to me. I dragged my fluke right in front of his face, and as he backed away, I saw his back had one continuous fin and it was undulating. It was a bowfin, three feet from me! I have never seen/hooked one in the river up here. Crazy!
Anyone else ever come across one of these up in these parts?
