Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?
Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.
Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.
Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.
Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.
What month is best for going on a bowfishing charter?
The most popular season to go on a bowfishing charter is summer, and most anglers book their trips 38 days in advance.

Good communication and flexible in scheduling. Provided good instruction to a beginner which resulted in success. Captain Tim showed great knowledge of the species and habitat. We would recommend this Captain!

Trip: Bow Fishing & Gigging
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 say enough good things, and well worth our time.
