Bowfishing on February 10, 2024
Booked a trip with Captain Mike for a night time bowfishing and gigging trip. All I can say is what a blast! We met Captain Mike at the launch at
7:45, and he spent a few minutes going over the safety procedures with us and had us each take a few practice shots to zero in. Our party had 2 adults, and two 14 yr old boys, and Captain Mike's bows worked well for everyone. Captain Mike did a great job of getting us on lots and lots of fish to shoot at.
Now our aim, that's a different story.
We easily
missed 10-20 shots for every hit we had, but fortunately, Mike had us on so many fish, that each miss was just another chance to give your buddy a hard time on his crappy aim. We had a great time with tons of laughs and saw alot of different species.
We ended the night with a harvest of sting rays, big sheepshead, mullet, and catfish, and saw many other species including tons of big redfish, snook, blue crabs, horseshoe crabs, puffer fish, needle fish, and more. I would highly recommend a night trip with Captain Mike, he is highly knowledgeable of the area, and just alot of fun to hang out with.

Most fun we’ve had on a charter
Bowfishing on April 6, 2024 • 5 adults
We enjoyed the experience from start to finish…. Had countless opportunities at fish, more than a few fantastic shots, and a memory we’ll all revisit often! Captain Mike was friendly, his equipment top notch, and his ability to put us on fish, almost unfair…. We will be back!!

Mike was great and put us on a lot of fish. Shot opportunities were not hard to come by. Hitting the fish, well that is another story.
