Orange Beach has a fish with your name on it, so let Stickin Phatties Bowfishing & Gigging help you catch it!

Depending on the time of year, you might shoot into Flounder, Black Drum, Mullet, Carp, 5 different species of Rays, Sheepshead, Long Nose Gar, Alligator Gar, Bull Shark, Black Tip Shark, and anything else that shows itself under the lights. Capt. Zach can also take you Flounder gigging.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

A trip to remember!
4 Hour – Night Saltwater Bowfishing on April 1, 20262 adults4 children

This trip is one we will never forget! It was our first bowfishing experience and Captain Zach and Devon nailed it! They put us on lots of fish for our kids to shoot and even got some bonus blue crabs. At first I was worried with my youngest(8 year old, 46lbs) being able to pull the bow back, but they had just the right equipment for the job. I would highly recommend this trip and will do it again if I’m ever in the area again.

Amazing experience!
4 Hour – Night Saltwater Bowfishing on March 18, 20263 adults1 child

Our teens had an amazing time. Even with cooler temperatures, the captain found areas with a lot of fish and gave the kids a great experience. The kids were so busy having no fun there was no down time to get bored. Highly recommend!!

Great husband wife anniversary trip.
4 Hour – Night Saltwater Bowfishing on May 15, 20252 adults

Captain Zach was awesome in every way. His communication was great. He reached out before the trip and asked what kind of fish we were after and what we were interested in doing and then he tailored the trip to what we wanted. Zach has top notch equipment and a very roomy, comfortable boat. We were both new to bow fishing and we were given a quick lesson and felt very comfortable right away. Zach made every effort to make the trip a success and gave great advice on bowfishing. Zach has a wealth of knowledge and is not afraid to share it. If we are in Gulf Shores again, we would definitely book with Stickin Phatties again.

Saltwater Bowfishing with Captain Zach
4 Hour – Night Saltwater Bowfishing on June 28, 2024

Captain Zach was the best!! I booked a saltwater bowfishing trip as an experience for my children and I had an absolute blast as well. His boat, his equipment, and who he is are all top of the line! He’s extremely knowledgeable about the fish and where to go to find them. And, as an added bonus he made sure we were also able to see dolphins while we were out! If you’re looking for a memorable moment with your children do not hesitate to book this trip!
