If you like hunting and you like fishing, there's no better way to do both—at the same time!

About Your Trip

On this epic nighttime bowfishing trip, you'll have a chance to nail Rays, Sheepshead, Jacks, and other species from the deck of Captain Thomas' 22' Century bay boat. If you like hunting and you like fishing, there's no better way to do both—at the same time!

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, so you can fill your cooler with trophies and keepers.

Captain Thomas's 22' Century is ideal for this type of shallow water maneuvering. In addition, this boat packs some serious lights to help you spot the fish. Thomas will you meet you at one of many boat ramps in 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.

Thomas D.

Independent Guide
Captain Thomas has fished the Tampa Bay and St. Pete waters for over 25 years. His father bought him his first fishing pole at the age of 4, and he used to sneak to the lake to catch anything that would bite his line. When Thomas wasn't fishing, he was an All-Star baseball player for a local Tampa league and in High School he was a starting pitcher. During this time, he learned what hard work and dedication meant, and has carried this trait with him through his career.
After high school, Thomas realized that fishing was his passion, and pursued his dream. During this time he married his wife Nadine, and became a father of 3 beautiful children—Jaylin, Alexa, and Simon. He enjoys sharing his love for the water with his family, but most of all taking his old man out and making memories. His father and mother always instilled him to go after your dreams, so he decided to begin his journey as a guide and share the love of fishing with everyone.

Mike was amazing! Our family had the most fun on this charter and we have done many! He found us a lot to shoot at and we loved seeing all the creatures in the water. My kids said trip of a lifetime.

It was a slow morning but our guide kept moving and trying spots. Was talking with other guide friends to get on a hot bite but it was slow for everyone. We did get some keeper sheep head and the guide was easy to talk to. I would try again with them if we get back here again.
