    My son had bee. asking a lot about Bow Fishing and we had a family trip to Orlando planned. It was a great fit and the night time fishing was new for both of us. Captian Michael was very helpful in demonstrating and letting us both pratice before getting to the fishing area. He was very helpful and patient and helpful with both of us.

    Awesome Charter! And amazing experience! Would highly recommend to anyone considering this. We shot Placo and Gar. The ride to and from the fishing spot was great too watching the colored lights from the boat beam on the trees at night. Id do this again in a heartbeat.

Hunting + Fishing + Archery = BOWFISHING Bowfishing is simply fun. We had a group cone down from Ohio and have never been bowfishing before; they came across our operation here on Fishbooker and decided to book the trip… By the end of the trip they were already planning the next trip when they come back down for their next vacation. Nothing but smiles and laughter all around. Want a fun exciting experience on the water you need to give bowfishing a try! Theres plenty of fish around to shoot and you will not regret it!

Awesome group from Ohio on spring break came down and decided to give bowfishing a try for the first time. They are more than happy that they did! So much so they booked the following night for two nights of bowfishing! If youve never been bowfishing before or even shot a bow; dont worry! We can get you dialed in and shooting fish!
