Gag grouper and red snapper seasons were amazing! We look forward to focusing on amberjack, red grouper, triggerfish, almaco jacks, and vermillion. Also hope to see the blackfin tuna showing up in the next couple weeks!

    We had captain Andy for a night time hunt. He was very knowledgeable and had a great attitude! Will definitely be coming back to bow fish again!

    Our guide Andy was excellent. He was very quick to point out species we can shoot and the ones we can’t shoot. He did a great job getting us on top of them! Also his patience with our people who have never done it was amazing. He would keep us on top of the same fish until they hit it! 10/10 would recommend these guys to anyone. We will definitely be using them again next time.

    We had a great time! I didn’t know rays were so resilient that you could get them with an arrow and the would heal within a few days. Our guide Colby was awesome. He found a bunch of rays for us and helped us after each catch. Hew was awesome!

    We believe that Joey did a great job of taking care of us. Two very large 15 lb fish were caught. It was a pleasant fishing trip. Regards, George FLynn

    We were booked with Captain Joey, but we were guided and taken care of by Captain Mindy. I’m sure Joey is great, but I can’t imagine it going any better than it did with Mindy. She took great care of us, she was very patient with our kids (12&13), and helped us every step of the way. My wife and kids have never bow fished. I haven’t done so in 25+ years. So she basically had a boat full of newbies. We caught several! We missed several more! It was a lot of action and we enjoyed being out there at night for a change. Then my daughter caught the fish of the night! A very nice ray. My son had to shoot back up to make sure we landed it, so that made it even cooler. We would definitely take this trip again. If you get to go with Mindy that’ll be a bonus!

    Captain Melissa led us on a trip filled with good times and good memories for me and my family. She was patient and prepared, and was very good to my kids. We saw tons of neat marine life and flung lots of arrows. Didn’t find many large targets that night, so the small fish were difficult to bag, but that’s fishing sometimes. The boat was setup well and they provided everything needed for this excursion. I would book it again.
