Bowfishing Trips in Missouri
Night Fishing Like You’ve Never Experienced Before
Bowfishing is fast, loud, and addictive — and All-Out Fishing Charters delivers the full experience on Missouri’s best waters. Using high-powered bows, bright lights, and smooth-bottomed boats, you’ll cruise lakes and rivers after dark to target rough fish like gar, carp, buffalo, and more.
Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or just curious to try something new, our guided bowfishing trips offer safe, beginner-friendly fun for individuals and groups of all sizes.
What Is Bowfishing?
Bowfishing combines the accuracy of archery with the thrill of fishing. Instead of rods and reels, you’ll use specialized bows with reels and barbed arrows to shoot fish in shallow, clear water — usually after sunset, when the lights go on and the action heats up.
It’s legal, exciting, and accessible — no prior experience required. Just show up ready to aim, shoot, and laugh with your crew.
