I have bowfished quite a bit. It is a lot of fun! Essentially any bow will work, but you will need a specialty bowfishing arrow as well as reel. Muzzy and AMS are pretty much the leaders in bowfishing gear, so be sure to check them both out. A recurve can be nice, but a compound will work as well. I used an Oneida compound.
Make certain to identify the species you are considering shooting. From your description I imagine you are describing carp, or possibly suckers. It is illegal to shoot gamefish such as bass, trout, sunfish, walleye, etc. Feel free to ask me any questions.
Carp are a lot of fun, but the Chad's Gap of bowfishing are Alligator Gar, commonly found in Texas. They get HUGE! Not me in these pictures. All I have shot are carp.
