Night Time Bow Fishing and Gigging

This is a nighttime trip, dark until dawn is possible!

Night trips are special, the hum of the inverter to power the lights, the lack of anyone else on the water, and the HUGE numbers of fish that are somehow invisible during the day!

I fish both freshwater and the Gulf after dark.  If you want to chase trophy fish, a specific type of fish for your "World or Florida Slam", load up on Sheepshead, slide up on monster Stingray or just experience a mixed bag of fish, this is a fantastic way to see the local waterways.

AMS bows, Megamouth or Retriever reels and gigs are available for you to use.  If you are trophy fishing or have your own bow set up, please bring it.  The more comfortable with your bow, the more fish you will hit.

Gigging instead of bow/arrows is an option.  Many first timers go with gigs as they are much easier to use, have a much higher harvest rate and offer and very fast paced fishing that few people have seen before

My charter license covers your fishing license requirement in the Gulf but you will need a Florida Freshwater Fishing License to bow fish with me in the freshwater lakes and rivers that we can float.

Price:  Freshwater

Freshwater lakes and rivers 1-4 people $350 for 4 hours and $550 for an "all-nighter".   This is from sunset to sunrise or until you are too tired to keep fishing!  We will be on large bodies of water, so you won't just be going in circles or back and forth on the same canal.  Each participant must have a current FWC Florida Freshwater Fishing License for this or be exempt via FWC laws.  Check the FWC website for qualifications.

Price:  Saltwater

Gulf and brackish rivers-1 to 4 people $550 for 4 hours and $750 for an "all-nighter" I will literally fish from dusk until dawn if you and your group are up for it.  $50/person additional up to 6 total.  The Trophy Gar Charter goes far enough into freshwater, and we pursue what is considered Freshwater Fish, that you will need a Florida Freshwater Fishing license to participate.   Check the FWC website for rules for qualifications such as age etc.
