These 4-hour evening trips are tailor-made for families, beginners, and seasoned anglers alike. Starting at 5:30 PM, you’ll cruise the shallows under
a canopy of stars aboard Captain Anthony’s custom-rigged 21’ Grizzly Tracker. Powered by a reliable 150 HP Mercury engine and outfitted with brilliant custom LED lighting, this vessel turns the nighttime river into a glowing aquarium—revealing targets just inches beneath your feet.
Captain Anthony’s setup gives you front-row seats to the action as invasive Northern Snakehead, hefty Blue Catfish, sleek Longnose Gar, Common Carp, Goldfish, and Mullet glide through the shallows. Whether you're brand new to bowfishing or have your form dialed in, you’ll get expert instruction and a safe, supportive environment to line up your shots and stick some fish!
No fishing license? No problem! Captain Anthony’s trips are fully licensed and beginner-friendly—just bring your sense of adventure. He provides all the gear you’ll need, including high-quality bows, arrows, and safety equipment. And when the night wraps up, you’ll head home with cleaned fillets, high-resolution photos of your catch, and stories that'll have your neighbors leaning in to hear every detail.

Captain Anthony selectively keeps table-quality fish, removes invasive snakehead from the ecosystem, and actively partners with local riverkeeper groups to support shoreline cleanups and conservation efforts.
