If I want to shoot carp with a bow, do I need a hunting license or a fishing license?

You will need a fishing license. Sport fishing regulations permit bow and arrow fishing for the following non-game species only: carp, goldfish, western sucker, Sacramento blackfish, hardhead, Sacramento pikeminnow and lamprey (for specific areas and exceptions, see CCR, Title 14, Section 2.25).
Even though DFG law might allow for bow and arrow fishing in your local area, some lakes and waterways prohibit the possession of bow and arrow equipment. You will need to check with the jurisdiction that runs the body of water, such as, State Parks, Regional Parks, local county parks, etc.
When bow and arrow fishing, the tackle must have the arrow shaft, the point or both attached by a line to the bow, or to a fishing reel. This rule also applies to crossbows (California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 1.23).
