If you've never experienced the action of nighttime bowfishing, this trip might be for you! Captain Greg has thirty years of experience helping his clients whack fish on the rivers around The Eastern Shore, and he knows exactly where all the local hot spots are. You can target a range of species on this trip, so whether you're aiming to fill your cooler, nail a trophy fish, or both, Captain Greg has got you covered. The species you're most likely to see on this nighttime adventure are Carp, Gar, and Snakehead—an invasive species of predatory freshwater fish originally from East Asia. All of these fish are active at night, and make perfect bowfishing targets! You'll be shooting from the deck of Captain Greg's 26' Long Beach custom, which sports three individual engines—a 115 HP Suzuki, plus two 25 HP kicker engines—as well as a trolling motor to sneak up on your quarry. She's a shallow-draft boat, which allows you to cruise around the shallow flats with ease. This vessel also has a Cobia tower, which is extremely useful for spotting fish at night.

    Excellent all around

    W.gary L. with Frank B. of Stone Harbor, New Jersey

  • ★★★★★
    Frank clearly knows these waterways and is a true master of Stone Harbor / Cape May. He took us to 7 spots in 4 hours to find the fish and even stayed out with us longer than the original length of the trip. It also seems like he really cares about his customers and was great with the more green members of our group. Would easily book another trip next time we're in the area. --Attison with Captain Experiences
