I have used 45-70# recurves. I like the 45, you don't want something that will whoop ya if you are really into the fish. Muzzy makes some tips called Stingarees or something close. Those are really nice, you can get away with cheaper ones also. No need for the camo unless you like it.
For a real fun shooting trip, rig up a boat with flood lights. We used a 4500W generator mounted the 500W flood lights around my bass boat and went out after dark. Early spring is exelent for big carp and buffalo. In the flooded fields I am sure you wont have a problem just wading if the fish are really stacked in there.
Another tip is to aim low on the fish, light defraction makes the fish apear closer to the surface than actually are. Plus the arrow hitting the water at an angle probably causes it to deflect high also.
Once you get into it look for one of those zero drag reels that attach to your bow. Those help out a lot.
