Ultimate bowfishing experience w/ Goldline and Capt. John

4 Hour Trip – Bowfishing on August 7, 2025

We 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!

Best Thing Ever

4 Hour Trip – Bowfishing on June 29, 2025

I 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.

Thank you John for the awsome review and picutres and video.  It truly was a pleasure having y'all out on the boat.  Your boys caught on quick and the competitiveness between them reminded me of my twins when they were that age.  Hopefully their shoes didnt smell too bad after the trip 😉.

September fishing trip

4 Hour Trip – Bowfishing on September 27, 2025

John 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.
