About Your Trip

Head out with Seth for a bowfishing excursion unlike any other with one of Central Texas' best guides. Seth runs trips around five local lakes and some great rivers here in Central Texas and is one of the most experienced guides out there!

Whether you're an experienced bowfisher or a first-timer, Seth will show you everything you need to start hitting fish. After the safety discussion, if necessary, he'll demonstrate how to use the bowfishing equipment, give you specific details on how to aim, and let you sling a few arrows in order to get a feel for the equipment. After that, you'll get out there and start bowfishing! Seth will adjust the draw weight of our bows to your comfort level, so that women and children can enjoy a night on the water. The average weight that we shoot is approximately 30 lbs. For kids 12 or over we will decrease the weight of the bow down to around 18 lbs. Most women that go out with us tend to shoot around 25 lbs. of draw weight.

Your allowed to shoot several different types of ruff fish in Texas with no daily bag limit including Longnose Gar, Spotted Gar, Common Carp, Buffalo, Freshwater Drum, Grass Carp and Shad so plenty of shot opportunities. We will also go over all the equipment and coach you through out the trip to help you get on target and have a awesome trip making memories! We're located in Central Texas near Waco, TX, and we fish 5 local lakes and a few rivers within 50 mile radius of Waco Tx.

We can accommodate larger groups or corporate trips into several different boats with a 2 week notice! Each boat will include your Guide, Deckhand, Bows & Gear, Fully Rigged Bowfishing Bow, Ice and Water.

You don't have to be a pro to go on one of these trips. Seth takes plenty of couples and even young adults and children (12 or older) that have never even shot a bow. He will have you whacking fish in no time. He specializes in taking the time to explain everything and answer any questions you may have.

Seth provides his clients with the best equipment available. All of the bows and gear are top of the line and everything you need to bow fish is supplied—all you need to book a trip is a current Texas fishing license. Also, make sure you wear some comfortable shoes and clothes that you don't mind getting a little dirty. Seth will take care of the rest.

You'll be shooting from the deck of his 2018 Boat Rite Custom 22' center console. It features a full deck over, perfect for bowfishing, and a 10' deck and 26 70-watt LED lights that will light up the water like daytime. The boat is also equipped with a 200 HP Yamaha Show motor, and holds six comfortably. The boat has 6-8 life jackets on board, plus all the proper safety gear.

Seth also provides a cooler with ice and drinks. If you prefer different beverages or snacks please, go ahead and bring them with you.

Seth usually likes to meet at the boat dock or marina of the lake or river we will be fishing so let us know if you have a preference based on where you staying, Showing you a great time and putting you on plenty of fish is his main goal. We have been guiding for the past 10 years and will definitely show you a good time!
