WHAT TO EXPECT:
-We meet at various landings, depending on the time of year,
just before sunset. Before launching we will have a short
safety briefing.
-If you've never bowfished before we'll give you a brief lesson
on the equipment we'll be using for the evening. You can
bring your own equipment or we will provide it for you.
-We will shoot fish and depending on the season we will shoot
a lot of them. Book a spring trip and you will have the chance
to shoot up to 1000lbs.
-We take care of supplying the equipment and the disposal of
all harvested fish.
-We shoot almost entirely after sunset for two reasons. First
the fish are much easier to see after dark with the aid of our
halogen lights. Second, the fish get much more relaxed
as the night goes on which makes for a great time. Miss the
first shot at night and odds are your buddy will clean up for
you.
TRIP INFORMATION:
Your trip will start approximately 1 hour before dark (unless you request
a day trip). We will meet you at the boat ramp with the boat fueled and
ready to go. All customers must sign a liability waiver agreement form
before you start your trip.
After you are on the boat and ready to go we will travel to our first starting
point. We normally arrive at the starting point 15-30 minutes before dark.
We will then go through our quick safety discussion.
After the safety discussion, if necessary, we will demonstrate how to use
the bowfishing equipment, give specific details on how to aim and let you
sling a few arrows in order to get a feel for the equipment. After that
we start bowfishing!
Snacks will be supplied. Snacks include soft drinks, water, chips and miscellaneous
other snack foods. Feel free to dig in anytime during the night. We will
also take a break once or twice during the night. We turn off the lights
and motor and then enjoy nature's surroundings for a few moments while
we refresh on some snacks.
Throughout the evening we usually see plenty of beaver, muskrat, deer and
a few other 'critters'. Even though we usually have a fast-paced night
of bowfishing you will also experience an evening with nature at its best.
Animals tend to show themselves more and not be quite as shy at night as
they are during the day time.
Your trip will last anywhere from 4-6 hours or until you get tired which
is what usually happens first. Feel free to let us know when you get tired
and have had enough. Once the night is complete we will take a few pictures
of your fish and send them to you via email if you desire. You are welcome
to keep any or all of the fish. Some have requested this in order to use
the fish as fertilizer in their gardens. And finally we will head back
to the boat ramp and say goodnight. It is usually breaking daylight when
we get back to the ramp.
The boat will easily accommodate three bowfishermen plus
the captain.
A $50 deposit must be made in order to reserve your trip.
The remainder
will be paid upon arrival before we head out.
Tips are not required. However tips are appreciated.
Occasionally we will
have a first mate on the boat to assist you with retrieving your arrow
and fish and to assist with any issues that may occur with any of your
equipment. You will find that the first mate is an added benefit to your
bowfishing trip.
