Fishing at night creates a whole different atmosphere and experience for every angler. Join Afterdark Charters from Dauphin Island and Mississippi, well, after dark. Captain Bruce will share his experience with you and do whatever he can to make you feel comfortable.

Just because the trip starts in the evening, it doesn’t mean you have to send your kids to bed. Bring them along and spend some quality fishing time as a family. Anglers of all skill levels are welcome to join, so it doesn’t matter if there are beginners in your group.

Everything begins on a 19’ Carolina Skiff boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. This flats boat is powered by a 115 HP Yamaha engine and a wireless trolling motor. Besides all kinds of the necessary safety and navigational gear, the boat also features a cooler for your catch.

On this charter, gigging is the key, so you can forget about rods and reels. You’ll go after Flounder, Sheepshead, Ray, and Crab. Everything that you catch is yours to keep. Before you leave the boat, the captain will clean your catch free of charge.

All fishing equipment you’ll need for this trip is included in the price. The captain also covers your fishing license. This leaves you only to bring some snacks and drinks, and don’t forget to dress something warm.

Afterdark Charters will take you on an adventure this evening. Catch your dinner and experience a different kind of fishing.

Saltwater Bowfishing Trip

Night fishing with Captain Bruce

VERIFIED

First of all, Bruce called the day of asking if I would like to postpone the trip for the following evening since the weather was not supposed to be ideal for bow fishing. Unfortunately I could not postpone but we had a great time anyway. Bruce had to work a little harder and the bay was pretty cloudy, but we still caught our limit in less that 4 hours. Bruce is very knowledgeable and his equipment is amazing. We had a great time and I recommend this trip for anyone.

Saltwater Bowfishing Trip

Five hour trip with Captain Bruce

VERIFIED

Great experience for my 14yr old son and I, Captain Bruce went out of his way to make sure my son had a left handed bow, thanks Bruce . Weather and water conditions weren’t optimal but captain Bruce worked all night to put us on fish, and it paid off. Captain Bruce had to change our launch location to be closer to better water conditions . We missed more shots than we made but we still brought fish home. Overall great trip and would do it again!!! Thanks Captain Bruce.

Saltwater Bowfishing Trip

5 hour night trip

VERIFIED

We had some last minute things come up causing us to be about an hour late, and captain Bruce was very polite and understanding. Even with one less hour to fish, we had a very action packed night and got to see tons of fish and wildlife. I definitely recommend this trip to anyone who may bowfish back home, or anyone just looking to try something new and different than standard rod and reel fishing. Definitely see us booking again next year

Saltwater Bowfishing Trip

Night charter = no sunburn

VERIFIED

Our trip was awesome. Captain Bruce's boat setup is very impressive. We harvested a dozen or so flounder with what I like to call a triton. We seen several different species of fish and even a baby fox on the shore. We have never taken a charter like this and Captain Bruce showed us exactly what to do. Overall experience was really great. I highly recommend Captain Bruce. Personal advice, wear comfortable shoes.

Saltwater Bowfishing Trip

Flounder gigging and bow hunting with Captain Bruce

VERIFIED

A very different way to fish. Neither my friend or I had previous bow experience, but gave it a try, as well as gigging a few. Captain Bruce was infomative and showed us the basics to gigging flounders. He pointed out fish that I couldn't see even with him basically outlining them for me. He has a real knack for finding flounders. And really put in the effort for a successful trip. Really a cool experience, that doesn't interfere with your daytime activities. Certainly glad I experienced it.
