About our Bowfishing Trips

Bowfishing combines hunting and fishing into an action-packed aquatic sport. Florida Fishing Trips takes clients into the heart of the Nature Coast for the best bowfishing spots along the seven main spring fed rivers that lead to the Gulf of Mexico. Water is crystal clear, giving sights of the marine life below. Most nights, pods of dolphins will work alongside the boat catching fish that are fleeing away from the lights. Bowfishing will have you constantly alert and engaged. Be prepared to see thousands of fish darting in the water each night. My clients have shot two Florida state record fish. All ages have the opportunity to participate in the excitement. If you have never shot a bow, no worries- You will be a bowfishing expert by the end of the night!

All equipment will be provided (this includes boat, fishing license, bows, cooler to store fish) Fish will be cleaned at the end of the night. There will be a briefing on how to use bows before trip begins, along with safety procedures. We will also go over fish ID (which fish are illegal to shoot and the size measurements for what can be kept). Boat is equipped with multiple LED lights to see the fish below.

​

 The best times for bowfishing are the last 3 hours of the outgoing tide and the first 3 hours of the incoming tide. After that, the water gets deeper which makes it more difficult to see the fish. We will adjust trip times around the tides and weather.
