Tampa Bowfishing Charters
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. It's powered by a 150 HP Mercury Command Thrust engine that will take you to the very best spots, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There's a trolling motor to let you sneak through the shallows without spooking the fish once you get there.
Night fishing? No problem! The boat has an array of super-bright flood lamps to light up even the most starless night, and her high-tech electronics can sound out the murky waters below no matter the conditions. She's also equipped with 2 power poles, tower, and SeaDek carpet.
Every Tampa Bowfishing Charters trip comes with all the necessary equipment for bowfishing, although you are of course welcome to bring your own if you prefer. 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!

Sam Kralik•
Pennsylvania, USMember since 20245.0VerifiedWhat a blast!!!
Bowfishing Trip (Night) on August 12, 2024 • 3 adultsCan’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!
Sawyer Lee•North Carolina, USMember since 20225.0Verified4 hour bowfishing trip with captain Ike
Bowfishing Trip (Night) on June 16, 2022 • 3 adultsOne of the best fishing charters I have been on. Captain Ike is a great teacher for my girlfriend who went on the trip with me and she had never bowfished before. Within no time she was shooting and hitting fish with his tips. Captain Ike explains things very well and his upmost priority is safety. He is very experienced and will put you on the fish. We shot fish all night log, shooting many big sheepshead.

Jeremy Thompson•Wisconsin, USMember since 20225.0VerifiedEvening trip in the bay, what a blast!!
Bowfishing Trip (Night) on April 13, 2022 • 4 adultsGreat to see Captain Ike again after a fun evening last year. This time was insane, fish everywhere, the whole family had a blast! Highly recommended, a load of fun!!
Jason Alexander•Texas, USMember since 20195.0VerifiedGreat Night!!!
Bowfishing Trip (Night) on May 7, 2019 • 2 adultsWas a little on the fence when I was looking to book with Captain Ike. We are so glad we jumped off and went for it. Captain Ike is a top notch guide. Everything from start to finish was done right. His tackle worked flawlessly. The boat was a great. Supper clean and maintained. The captain himself was great. He was polite very knowledgeable and helpful on all fronts. When the wind started picking up on the other side of the bay he made it a point to get us back across without getting hardly a drop of water on us. Got us set up in a protected cove, and got us back on the fish quickly. Like I said if you’re on the fence about booking, jump off and do it!!! you will not be disappointed can’t wait to get back to Tampa to do it again .

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.
