Bowfishing next Saturday with Marsh Masters

They're awesome guides. Been twice. They'll take you out at night and let you stay until yall shoot a limit plus the deckhand's limit. Very patient people. They clean your fish and have them on ice for you to pick up in the morning. This was a few years ago, granted, but I believe it's still ran by the same folks.

Drinking a shitload of beer. Shooting redfish in the motherfricking face. Riding around all night in a sweet arse airboat.

I mean, what else could you want?

We are staying in Grand Isle for the weekend, hoping for good weather and bringing some fish back

Always went in the summer , give us a report . If ya'll are missing the guide can make some damn good shots from his perch ...

Should not be legal . Sorry,hard for me to not compare this to shining wild animals. I fish their area from time to time and see numerous half stuck fish that got away with big gashes on them, many undersized. Have fun....

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.

Goddamn son

Had a similar experience on a bachelor party.

They are the best. I can only imagine what went on with a bachelor party. Regardless, shooting seven fish with that many peeps is hilarious. The hunts are timed, but the guy will stay and work hard if treated respectfully.

The other guy who left at a certain time to come in made the right decision for a bunch of reasons I'm sure. No Way he cut the hunt shorter than the agreed upon time. Sometimes it's like a duck hunting guide when ducks aren't flying..he knows when to cut it short.

Just go, shoot 8 inches below the fish, have a beer and enjoy your friendships. Get there early, have a good dinner at the restaurant just down the road.

We fish with Darrell only. We bring cool shite to him each trip and he knows we work hard to fish and tip well.

Basically, treat the guide how you would want to be treated if you were expected to go beyond the call of duty.
