If you’d like to try your hand at a fishing technique completely different from the standard rod and reel, the spearfishing Tampa Bay has to offer will blow your mind. Bowfishing is a type of spearfishing, and particularly popular in this area. For your fishing adventure, you will use a bow with a reel on it and specialized arrows to shoot your catch in the clear and shallow waters.
Tampa Bay has plenty of experienced bowfishers who can take you out for an exhilarating time on the bow. Your guide will explain everything you need to know and he’ll have the equipment ready for you on board. You will be prowling flats and mangrove-lined shorelines for Flounder, Stingrays, Cobia, and Sheepshead, just to name a few. Even if you’re a beginner, these trips will be a memorable experience.
You can take your pick between day trips and night jaunts. Day trips usually last four hours, they cost around $400 for a group, and are perfectly suited for the first-time bowfishers. Night trips by the light of flood lamps pose a challenge for your fishing skills and senses, and they’re in the same price range as day expeditions. Seasoned anglers love these night hunting adventures, and novices are exhilarated by the experience as well. Nothing will shake things up and open new fishing horizons like the spearfishing Tampa Bay promises!
