I have tried bowfishing from a kayak, you need a short bow like the Bear Supermag 48 or the Kodiak Magnum. With a 60 inch recurve, the bottom limb goes in the water on close shots. Instead of an atlatl with a flexable dart, the traditional system is a non flexable throwing board with a relativly short stiff harpon. It works well for short downward shots, not so well for far shots. Oh, yes, very important, have a strong cord securely attached to your dart, you can sink your dart really deep in a log on the bottom of the river, you want to be able to pull the log up so you can dig the point out with your knife. And when you are pulling, never forget that kayaks tip over easily. Bill
