Captain Joe grew up in the small town of Hernando, Mississippi, and played football for the Ole Miss Rebels from 2003 to 2005.

He started bowfishing when he was 15 years old and has been passionate about it ever since. He began in local ditches and creeks until he had the opportunity to go bowfishing on a fan boat with a friend for the first time. That night, bowfishing took on a whole new meaning for him. He had never seen or shot at as many fish as he did that night. Inspired by this experience, he decided to invest in his own boat. After purchasing his boat, he dedicated himself to fishing and learning about as many lakes as possible, discovering numerous productive spots along the way.

Throughout his bowfishing journey, he has always enjoyed teaching others about the sport of shooting fish with a bow and arrow. Nothing beats the experience of being there with someone, helping them shoot their first fish, or sharing the frustration of near misses. The rush he feels when he or someone else...

About Your Trip

Get ready to light up the Mississippi backwaters on this action-packed, fully guided bowfishing adventure with Captain Joe! Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned archer, this 4-hour trip delivers an unforgettable nighttime (or daytime) experience chasing wild freshwater species under the glow of high-powered floodlights.

Your hunt begins aboard Captain Joe’s custom-rigged 18’ river boat—an 1860 Alumacraft built specifically for bowfishing. Outfitted with a full surround of bright LED lights, this boat transforms dark
riverbanks and shallow lake edges into a glowing underwater stage where your targets come into view. With space for up to 5 guests, it’s a perfect setup for groups looking to try something new or get competitive with their shots.

Captain Joe provides everything you need to succeed: top-quality bows, arrows, reels, and safety equipment are all included. He’ll walk you through the gear and guide you on technique so you can quickly get dialed in and start hitting fish. Depending on the conditions and location, you’ll target a mix of exciting species including Carp, Gar (Spotted, Longnose, and Alligator), Bowfin, Blue and Channel Catfish, Smallmouth Buffalo, Flathead Catfish, Shad, and even the occasional Snakehead.

While night trips are the most popular—thanks to cooler temps and glowing waters—Captain Joe offers trips around the clock, so you can choose the time that works best for your crew. Daylight hours can also produce solid action, especially in clear, shallow water.

This trip is kid-friendly and beginner-friendly, and you're welcome to bring snacks and drinks (just no glass). Bluetooth audio is available onboard, so feel free to bring a playlist to set the vibe. And with flexible weather policies, you don’t have to worry about losing your deposit if conditions don’t cooperate.

Whether you’re chasing your first gar or filling the cooler with carp, Captain Joe is ready to guide you through an experience you won’t soon forget. Just bring your sense of adventure—he’s got the rest covered.

Wanted to do do a 6hr trip instead of a 4hr trip. Got it. Capt. Joe contacted us to change locations due to water conditions. From gator gar on the Mississippi to invasive bighead carp and spotted gar on Sardis Reservoir. We shot several big fish......one after another. This was a smart move and for the best. Joe was a true definition of a guide, from putting us on fish to pulling arrows. Can't...
