trip description for Ft. Lauderdale Bowfishing and gigging Trip in Plantation

Get out there and target a whole slew of invasive fish species on this nighttime bowfishing trip with Captain Mike! Florida's inland waterways are home to tons of invasive species from all over the world, many of which pose grave threats to Florida's local fish and native ecosystems. You'll be doing nature a favor while you have a blast on this trip! Fish change their behavior at night, when they're less wary of predators and can come out to hunt in the open. Little do they know, you'll be waiting, bow and arrow in hand! You'll have the opportunity to shoot a bunch of species on this trip, including local Carp, Tilapia, Jaguar Cichlids, Mayan Cichlids, Oscars, and many more. You'll be shooting from the deck of Captain Mike's 18' Pro Drive skiff. There's no better craft for navigating the shallow, marshy areas where you'll be, and in addition, this boat packs some serious lights to help you spot the fish. Mike will you meet you at one of many boat ramps in the Ft. Lauderdale area, and give you a brief safety briefing before you get out there! He'll provide everything you need, so just remember proper clothing and maybe some bug spray and you'll be good to go. No sunscreen necessary on this night trip. Read More

Of course, Captain Bruce will provide everything you could possibly need for this adventure, from gigs and bows, to bow lighting and instruction.

    When the standard fishing charter seems dull, go gig for flounder instead! To say my kids and I had a blast would be an understatement! Captain Alfonso was a great guide and a heck of a DJ! It didn't take long for him to teach the kids and I want to look for and how to gig flounder successfully. He was very patient and took us to multiple spots to find fish. In fact we stayed out much later than the reserved time, which was awesome! We ended up with six fish that were absolutely delicious! After spending a week at South Padre Island, my kids and I agree that the most memorable thing we did was go flounder gigging. We would not hesitate to do it again, especially with Captain Alfonso! Thanks, Captain! See you next time! We appreciate the great memories!

    Bob W. with Alfonso S. of Rio Hondo, Texas
