Non-stop bites all day long! Well, not quite, but we sure had a great time out on the water for our nighttime bowfishing adventure with Nautical Time Adventures Fishing Charters. I took Corey and their crew out for a 4-hour trip on a warm summer evening in Panama City Beach, FL. We set out just before sunset at 7:45 pm, ready to experience some thrilling bowfishing action under the stars. With our gear rigged and ready, we headed out to some prime inshore spots known for great bowfishing opportunities. The weather was partly cloudy throughout the day, which made for a comfortable evening on the water. We used a mix of techniques including bottom fishing, surf casting, and live bait fishing to cover our bases and increase our chances of success. While we didn't land any trophies this time, the excitement of bowfishing at night kept us engaged and having fun throughout the trip. Even though we didn't bring in any fish, the experience of being out on the water at night, trying different techniques, and enjoying the unique atmosphere of nighttime fishing made for a memorable adventure. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, appreciating the time spent honing our skills and enjoying the peacefulness of the water after dark. If you're looking for a unique fishing experience in Panama City Beach, I highly recommend giving our nighttime bowfishing trips a try with Nautical Time Adventures Fishing Charters. Our 4-Hour Bowfishing Trip is perfect for anglers of all skill levels who want to try something different and exciting. Whether you're a seasoned bowfisher or new to the sport, we'll provide all the gear and guidance you need for a fun night out on the water. The thrill of stalking fish in the shallows under the cover of darkness is unlike any other fishing experience. Plus, the inshore waters around Panama City Beach offer great opportunities for bowfishing, with a variety of species that are active at night. Even if the fish aren't biting, the experience of being out on the water after dark, seeing the city lights from a different perspective, and learning a new fishing technique makes for an unforgettable adventure. So if you're up for some Florida nighttime fishing action, give us a call at Nautical Time Adventures Fishing Charters. We'll do our best to show you an exciting time and hopefully put you on some fish. Remember, in bowfishing, it's all about the hunt and the unique experience – the catch is just a bonus!
The shallow waters of Panama City Beach have been active after sunset, making it a great time to book a bowfishing trip. Stingrays continue to be the top target, especially around the grassy flats and sandy shorelines. Visibility has been solid on clear nights, giving anglers a great chance to spot rays gliding through the shallows. Along with stingrays, anglers are seeing an increase in sheepshead, mullet, and the occasional flounder. Warmer evening temps are drawing in more movement, so timing your trip around dusk has been productive. If you're planning to get out on the water, now's a solid window—especially with calm wind conditions expected to continue this week.
We spontaneously went bow fishing in Panama, FL with this crew! While there were still some lingering stingrays, the gars were in full action, accompanied by the lively presence of black drums during the inshore fishing trip.
Spent an unforgettable day on the water, landing some impressive alligator gar! These creatures are absolutely mesmerizing in their natural habitat.

We had the best time last night! Plenty of opportunities to shoot fish and we scored some huge sting rays at 90, 70,and 40#. Definitely coming back next year. The crew was very knowledgeable about where to find fish. The variety of sea life that we would not have known about. Give this charter a try for bowfishing!
