TRIP DETAILS + INFORMATION

We are heading to Ruskin, Florida for an epic weekend of saltwater bowfishing! This will be a trip to remember as we are targeting unique saltwater species with an emphasis on stingrays! You will also have the chance to take aim at other species including Sheep Head, Black Drum, Flounder, Mullet and more. Our guides will graciously provide all of the equipment needed for this trip, all you have to do is get there. No fishing license is required! We will have two boats with 6 women on each boat. There will be ample opportunity to shoot with these smaller groups and 2 boats. If you are worried or hesitant because you’ve never tried this before, set your worries aside! Our guides at Midnight Xpress will coach you every step of the way and have you putting fish in the boat in no time! They truly take pride in introducing people to the sport of bowfishing and they feel there is no greater feeling than seeing a customer's face when they pull in their first catch! 

Tentative Itinerary:

Friday Evening - Arrive and hang out at the airbnb. Possibly head into the Tampa area for a night of dinner and drinks with everyone who has arrived! You can come anytime after 5pm.

Saturday - Spend most of the day exploring the area, maybe you decide to snorkel, parasail, sit on the beach and relax. Then you will start preparing for a long night on the water Bowfishing! You will be out very late!
