About Your Trip

We typically start 30 mins before dark to go over safety and bow instructions. We are out until 11pm. I provide all the bows and also cold water bottles on the boat. We bow fish for gar, catfish, and big tilapia! We fish out of a 1872 center console seaark that is wrapped with some of the best lights on the market allowing us to hunt in places others might now be able to. Also the boat has huge shooting platform that allows for more shoots and moving space to make it that much more fun! We hunt West Lake Toho here in Saint Cloud Florida. This is the third biggest lake in Florida allowing us to cover more water and also a lot bigger fish. We strive to make a trip super fun and exciting.

I started bow fishing with my younger brother in Maryland on the Potomac river. 15 years later I’m still addicted to it. I have upgraded from that old bow with a hand spot light connected to a battery to full rig set up. This includes a nice boat with some of the best lights out there and also so bows that are friendly for the shooter themselves. I moved to Flordia for school with plans on moving to the Carolina’s but fell in love with Flordia and the endless possibilities the state offers. I finally decided to get my captains license and try to make a living out of what I love to do.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 2,000+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
