Join Tampa Bowfishing Charters and explore these productive waters on a bowfishing adventure you'll remember! Captain Ike Carrasquillo is a second-generation captain and a Bass Pro Shops Cabela's bowfishing pro-staffer. He has developed a true passion for bowfishing, along with his reputation as a professional bowfisherman.
Before every trip, he will make sure everyone is comfortable handling and using the equipment, and once out on the water, he will be constantly on hand to offer his top tips and tricks and to make sure you hit your target (almost) every time!
Capt. Ike's 22' Tracker Grizzley 2072 has been set up specifically for exciting inshore fishing.

Fishing licenses are also provided by the boat, and there is a cooler for any food and drink you bring, so all you need to do is turn up. Please do not wear any boots or hard sole shoes.
Please let the captain know the group age and gender, and how many left and right shooters there are. This information will help the captain bring the correct bows to your trip.
Captain Ike will clean and fillet all your catch for you, ready to take home and enjoy, because with this level of action, you are bound to work up an appetite!

used captain Ike for a fishing trip after a trade show. Our company employees enjoyed the experience and eathwr got fish or had plenty of chances. Ike is prefessional and knows the area like the back of his hand.
Thank you Virgil for the opportunity. it was my pleasure Bowfishing ya'll. what a great crowd of professional folks.
Ike gave us a great experience. We will certainly be back. HIghly recommended.
Thank you Rob for that awesome review. looking forward on getting ya'll back on the water sir.
Can’t thank Captain Ike enough! We had another fishing trip canceled on us at the last minute and he was able to accommodate and give us the trip of a lifetime. Captain Ike is perfect for any skill set. He gave us a quick, very fun bowfishing lesson before we departed for our trip to maximize our success. It’s one of those excursions that is action packed the entire time! I would definitely recommend this for any outdoor enthusiast. You can catch fish anywhere but for the majority of us we don’t have the opportunity to bowfish. If your in the area contact captain Ike, he will take you on a trip of a lifetime!
It was a great night with captain Ike he did his best to put us on fish we had plenty of action all night!!
My pleasure bud, it was great having ya'll aboard.
Captain Ike is the man. Very knowledgeable in bow fishing and fishing in general. He treated our group as if we were friends for a long time. I will definitely be chartering him again next time I am in Tampa. Excellent experience. None of us on the boat had ever shot a bow. Ike was very good at explaining the proper and safe way to shoot the bow. I would recommend him to anyone looking to go bow fishing.
