Let’s Put A Big Twist On Your Fishing Trip.
We do our bowfishing off of airboats.
With no underwater exhaust or propeller, an airboat doesn’t alarm the fish until we’re already close enough to shoot them.
We’ll glide down the rivers and across the flats slow and easy so you can sneak up on the big ones! Captain Dave Smith is native to southwest Florida and has been fishing the surrounding waters since he could walk. His knowledge and experience will ensure you have a super successful bow fishing trip.
We have two airboats with brand-new sodium lights and generators to provide you with a clear view of the water so you can get a perfect shot.
Our trips are all-inclusive. We provide high-quality recurve and compound bows with reels on them and we’ll even show you how to use them! Call us for more information on our bow fishing adventures.
