re: Bowfishing next Saturday with Marsh Masters

Just did a trip with them last month for my bachelor party. The best man booked them after having heard great reviews. Besides it being my bachelor party and surrounded by my best friends I had a pretty bad experience with them.
1. Not once during our stay there did any guide or deckhand even introduce themself. They all acted as if they were doing it as a punishment. Was extremely unprofessional.
2. Our captain listened to a lsu game the entire time with earbuds in, and it was clear he wasn't interested. We would just get on a bank and cruise. If we ran into a pocket of fish and all shot he would just yell for us to reel up, never slow down during areas of fish, never called out a fish, nothing at all.
3. At 11:00 he let us know he had another charter in the morning that he was taking out and needed to head in. At this point we had 7 fish with 5 people shooting. I literally shot 3 times the whole trip. One guy didn't let an arrow fly at all.
4. The worst part of the trip was after we get back and settle up with money we decide to sit downstairs and wait for the other boat to come in. They roll in at 3:00 with 16 reds and a few gar.
5. We wake up with the fish cleaned and on ice for us. Once we get home we decide to split up the fillets. We empty out the ice to find two small freezer bags of fillets (like 12 pieces). I dunno wtf they did with the rest.
Tl/dR version. Pray you get a captain that gives a shite and actually wants you to shoot. Bring lots of beer. It helps all.

Hopefully I have a great time, seems like your experience is an anomaly tho. Everyone usually raves about marsh masters.
