About Your Trip

Prepare to bring in fish like never before on this bowfishing trip with Captain Scott!

You'll be bowfishing the shallow inshore channels and flats, hunting down fish such as Mullet Snapper, Stingrays, Flounder, Sheepshead, and more! Bowfishing is an extremely exciting way to chase fish, and this trip is the perfect way to do it.

You'll be shooting from the deck of Captain Scott's 21' Carolina Skiff, a shallow-draft fishing machine that will let you get into tight inshore water and mangrove channels. She has everything you need, including a 115-HP Yamaha outboard and a trolling motor to help you sneak up on your quarries.

Captain Scott will provide else everything you need for an epic trip, including bows and fish arrows. We recommend that you bring proper clothing, a hat, sunscreen, and a cooler with some snacks and drinks. Get out there and whack a personal best!
