What to Expect

Meet your expert Bowfishing Charter Captain at the marina just as the sun begins to set. Our night bowfishing trips typically last between 5 to 6 hours, bringing you back to the docks around midnight. To ensure the best fishing experience, we may adjust the timing of your trip based on the changing tides and optimal fishing conditions for the time of year.

What we're Catching

Our primary targets include Redfish, Drum, Flounder, Sheepshead, and Garfish. Each species offers its own unique challenge and thrill, making every trip a diverse and dynamic adventure. Whether you’re after the elusive flounder or the striking redfish, our expert guides will help you hone your skills and make the most of your night on the water.

Meet at the Marina
Myrtle Grove or Hopedale

As the sun sets, we embark on our adventure from Myrtle Grove Marina during the winter and Hopedale Marina during the summer both are scenic spots located about 45 minutes from New Orleans. These convenient locations offers easy access to some of the best bowfishing waters in the region.  You can choose where you would like to go but we will make the suggestion on where to go based on where the fishing is the best at that time.
