Allie CMember since 20265.0September fishing trip
4 Hour Trip – Bowfishing on September 27, 2025John is hands down the best captain for any fishing night! He will help you get the hang of it, encourage you, and most definitely laugh when you shoot the BIGGEST log you swore was a fish! He is amazing with kids. Some of our most favorite memories over the years has been on John’s boat fishing. I couldn’t recommend him enough for any kind of trip your thinking. Bachelor trip, family trip, or just a unique date night! It’s always some of the best memories you can make.

Adam PomrankaMember since 20265.0Ultimate bowfishing experience w/ Goldline and Capt. John
4 Hour Trip – Bowfishing on August 7, 2025We had an amazing time on our bowfishing trip! Captain John was incredibly communicative from the start; answered all our questions, kept us informed, and made everything easy from booking, to the actual trip. His customer service was top-notch, and he’s truly a man of his word.The rates were very competitive, and the experience was well worth it. We felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. What really stood out to me was how great he was with my 11-year-old son. He was super patient, encouraging, and made sure he was having fun and staying safe. All around, it was a fantastic trip. If you're thinking about booking a bowfishing guide, Do Not hesitate this is the one you want! We will be coming back! Adam, Littleton,Co
John ShawMember since 20265.0Best Thing Ever
4 Hour Trip – Bowfishing on June 29, 2025I took my 13-year-old twin boys bowfishing for the first time and it turned out to be one of the best experiences we’ve ever had together. The guide was fantastic, very patient, and made sure the boys had a great time while also teaching them along the way. It’s been 9 months since the trip and my boys still talk about it all the time and ask when we’re going again. That alone says everything about how great the experience was. If you’re thinking about going bowfishing, don’t hesitate. It’s an incredible experience for kids and adults alike. I highly recommend it — you won’t regret it.

We had a great time with Capt John bow fishing last week! John was an incredible host and extremely knowledgeable as well as patient. It was me and our 3 boys (21, 17, and 9) and while this was our first time, John was super helpful to teach us how to use the gear and make the most of our trip. Throughout the night John was helping us with strategies and telling us stories of previous trips and lakes he has fished. To be honest the night went by in a flash! John went out of his way to meet us near where we were staying then made sure he put us on the fish, even if it took a little longer. In the end the boys and I had a great time and made some memories that will last forever. John was fantastic and I can't recommend him enough!
Thank you ever so much for the amazing review Karl. it truly was a pleasure having y'all out on the water introducing y'all to the sport of bowfishing.
I always have a great time when I hit the lake with Goldline Bowfishing Charters. Captain John is professional, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about ensuring everyone on his boat has an enjoyable time. Captain John is patient and easygoing, he welcomes anyone and everyone on his boat. Whether you're a party of one, a group of guys/ladies or a family with the kids, Captain John will accommodate. Whether you're a seasoned bowfisher or a complete beginner, you'll feel comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend Goldline Bowfishing Charters to anyone looking for a memorable time on the water.
