I have a 45 lb Bear recurve I picked up for $30 and outfitted with a Muzzy bow hunting kit. I've seen people rig up bows with homemade setups but the Muzzy kit gives you a rest designed for fiberglass fish arrows and a no nonsense, solid bracket to attach the heavy duty reel. I hunt carp at in the local resevoir, river, and smaller streams. It's good practice for the off season although the point of aim is different (you aim low to compensate for the light refraction through water).
Take a friend with a gaff especially if you're hunting from a boat. Pick a sunny day, get a pair of polarized glasses, and have fun!
