Arrowhead water hunting

[FtWayne123]

What do you guys use for hunting arrowheads in water? When hunting a river/creek, the water is constantly moving which makes it quite difficult to comprehend what you are seeing in the water. Iv seen somewhere that someone uses a 5 gal. bucket with a plexi-glass bottom, while another uses a baking pan sort of thing. what do you use?

I never had any luck in your area with open river hunting, the gravel is buried under several feet of silt and mud in most of your rivers. They are slow enough and deep enough that they don't move the bottom much. The rivers for a couple of miles after the resevoirs produced because the water came out fast and it had already dropped the silt behind the dam, but you have to see if they are allowing it anymore.

Some of the small creeks produced when you can hunt the bank cuts (where points were eroding out.)

In Kentucky we'd just hunt the gravel bottom streams and gravel bars, including water up to a 5 to 8 inches deep and I'm sure I missed a lot of points. Some of the Missouri guys hunt with buckets with a clear bottom to see the rocks, but that would seem slow to me (but if it worked for me, I'd be a convert.)

Joshuaream- I know of a few places.Places where creeks flow quickly into the river. I know of another spot where the river gets extremely shallow(2 inches) during the summer, so water flows rather quick and has all the rocks exposed.

Wichita- Sounds painful.There has to be an easier way then bending down all the time. I'll have to think about something easy and let you know.
