Seth Meunier, Captain at Reel Vermont Guide Service

Looking for a thrilling excursion? Let Reel Vermont Guide Service take you out on a bow fishing trip. Get a little thrill from hunting big game on the open waters with bows and arrows! Your experienced guides know where to go and what to do. Captain Seth Meunier offers a wide range of services, from helping beginners land their first catch to guiding experienced anglers in landing plenty of tasty fish.

You’ll fish from an upgraded Dargel 230 HDX boat that is the perfect vessel for a bow fishing escapade. Up to 6 guests can take a trip on the boat, and all anglers are provided with bowfishing equipment by the captain. The boat's shallow and light hull will provide a smooth ride to take you where the fish are biting.

The local waters are home to many species of fish that are fun and challenging targets when bow fishing. Carp is one of the most common catches, due to their wide diversity and impressive sizes. Other species you may also want to target are Tench, Bowfin, Garfish, and various kinds of Drums.

Morning Fishing will be spent going after Tarpon, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Redfish, Black drum, and freshwater drum. You’ll focus your efforts on the most abundant species during the time of year when you are fishing, in order to maximize your catch.

Try your luck and see if you can fill the boat on this exciting day. Your captain will make sure you have all the equipment necessary for your trip. It’s a great time for everyone of all ages and the best way to enjoy Vermont’s amazing nature and wildlife!

11/10!!! A must-do! 🏹 Even if you are not a huge fisherman (or woman, like myself) you will have SO much fun! Seth was super knowledgeable & great company! You could see the passion he has for what he does!! My boyfriend said "this is the coolest thing I've ever done" about 3 times while on the boat & the boys couldn't stop talking about the trip ALL weekend! Thank you for the great memories! We will be back!
