About Your Trip

Step aboard for an unforgettable evening of action-packed bowfishing on the scenic Potomac River with Captain Anthony! With decades of experience charting every hidden ledge, grassy flat, and backwater hole from Aquia Creek to the fall line, Captain Anthony has dialed in a thrilling bowfishing experience that’s as educational as it is exciting.

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.

More than just a fishing trip, these outings emphasize responsible harvest and habitat stewardship. 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.

With room for up to 5 guests, these trips are perfect for families, friends, or anyone looking to experience a unique and thrilling way to fish the historic Potomac. Book now and discover why Captain Anthony’s top-rated bowfishing adventures are some of the best in Virginia!
