Flooded Fields bowfishing opener

As most of you know Bowfishing opener is long gone and over, it was May 1st. We went on the Mississippi river in Clearwater and expected to do very well, Well to our surprise it was terrible.... i say this because we were out till 4am in the freezing cold(32 degrees) with gusts of wind up to 30 mph. We went into the shallows where we expected to see alot of carp. And to our surprise got only about 20 shots off each the entire night! We got a total of 5 carp on out boat with the biggest weighing only 12lbs. The river was very high that night and we were mostly in flooded fields and parks or up in the low ground with the trees. I expected a good night and all i got was sick for 4 days. Lets get this weather warmed up Minnesota.
