Fishing just got way more exciting! Magic Bowfishing offers fishing trips out of Ocean City, that are everything but ordinary. Explore local rivers and bays with Captain Greg, as he takes you on a bow fishing adventure. This technique requires different equipment, which makes the whole experience like hunting on the water.

The adventure starts on a 24’ Long Beach custom boat that accommodates up to 6 guests. This center console is powered by a 115 HP Suzuki engine , 25 HP Suzuki kicker with Cobia Tower Steering/Spotting all on jackplates for shallow water. To make your targets visible during night trips, the boat also has twenty 200 W lights with 2 generators. The equipment is always there, which consists of 10 bowfishing setups, arrows, AMS reels, harpoons, gaffs, and anything else that’s needed. We also have added a new custom build 21' Uncle J Bowfishing boat strictly for extreme shallow water in the river powered by a Gatortail Mud motor ,Susuki 30 hp ,trolling motor and 5 Star Led lights.

The equipment is adjusted to your targets, so bowfishing gear isn’t the only one you’ll find here. There are also Flounder gigs and Clam rakes. You can go after Carp, Bluefish, Garfish, Shad, Ray, and Black Drum. You can keep the catch, so it’s best to bring a cooler and save the fish for tomorrow, when you get to taste the fruits of your success.

All equipment and fishing licenses are included in the price. The captain also has some bottled water and various sodas on the boat but feel free to bring your snacks and drinks. Make sure to wear proper clothing, especially on a night trip.

Your trip with Magic Bowfishing can be adjusted to meet your needs. Get in touch with the captain and discuss the details. Anglers of all skill levels are welcome to join, so what are you waiting for?

We had a blast!!! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!
Bowfishing in the Bay on August 3, 2024 • 2 adults

Thank you both to Capt. Greg & Anthony for a wonderful time. As first time bow hunting Anthony patiently explained the whole process which was fairly simple and off we went. We caught several southern rays and a cow nose. My son even got a houndfish. The boat was top notch and very clean and preformed well. Meeting the two of them was like seeing an old friend, conversation was very easy with them and we learned all kinds of things about fishing and the area. Capt. Greg was very good with communication as we were up for the week and the weather was awful so we left it up to him to figure out the best & safest day. Even with the weather and conditions Capt. Greg still got us on the target! It is definitely a very exciting sport and I can’t wait to go again with them next year when we visit again. Thank you both for a wonderful time. Book it guys you won’t regret it!

October fishing trip
Special 5 hour trip for Steven Angay on October 26, 2024 • 2 adults

We booked a last minute bowfishing trip with Greg. We were looking for Snakeheads and Greg said that he would give an opportunity to get some. He took us to a target rich environment and got a few snakehead and carp. We would have had more, but we missed a lot of shots. My wife and I had a great time on our anniversary. We highly recommend Magic Bowfishing.

I grew up on Assawoman Bay to Chincoteague Bay and all our rivers across Delmarva - hunting, fishing, bow fishing & crabbing. I fished and traveled the BASS circuit in high school and college, and started Magic Sportfishing Charters after graduating. I've been guiding inshore & offshore trips for over 30 years.
