Stumpknocker Bowfishing, Fort Pierce FL

Before I start my ramble let me just state early this is a CLASS ACT and deserve a 6th star if that’s possible. This trip started with a simple phone call that lasted 5 minutes and within that time I knew this was going to be a memorable experience. I explained to John that I had a decent amount of bow fishing experience and two days to have some fun and requested two 12 Hour days of bow fishing and Iguana shooting, he calmly said “Yeh we can get that done” a few more phone calls later and all plans we set. On the morning I arrived at his place of business I was met with John with a huge genuine smile and two more “Gentleman” which I will touch upon a little later. John and I set out to West Palm beach where we would hunt and fish, on that drive john and I single-handedly solved a lot of the world’s problems such as: Our worlds energy issue, unemployment and the economy and followed by minor unsolved questions such as which came first the chicken or the egg and finally who killed Kennedy. Upon arrival it was all business to get that boat in the water and get me shooting this is where I met the first “Gentleman” named Garret who on the brief boat ride to the dock I once again knew I was going to like these guys, Garret had just the right amount of sarcastic wit to be a lifelong friend from this moment on. Upon getting to the dock where we all assembled is where I had some time to meet the balance of “Gentleman” Bill who was brought along to help with my pursuit of fun and mission accomplished he was a great conversation and a great person. To wrap up this part up John brought in two more hired guns to make sure I would have a great time! Once we got on the water we started with a little Iguana shooting and given the fact I am a crack shot and it was way to easy to shoot these guys on the water we left the water and we changed locations and started shooting some mini dragons on land where I impressed all parties involved with my marksmanship skills this is where those two REALLY made me feel like "family" to the point where I may need some therapy. Moving on when the night came, we did a little more Iguana shooting and once again those guys couldn’t believe my marksmanship, so much we switched to bow fishing and the beginning of a long night of CONSTANT shooting of fish including clown knife fish, tilapia, snake heads and Mayan cichlids all the while we were all laughing and having a genuine great time. On the second night I opted not to shoot anymore of the reptiles (leave some for the next guy) because I made it look to easy so we went to a different area for more of the same fish only even more. Included in this evening was not only bow fishing but shooting iguanas with my bow and grabbing them right out of the trees and the Kaos that ensued once iguanas were shot or loose in the boat all the while laughing like little kids. Garret who is John’s Co Captain was integral in this great weekend (Thank You Garret) along with Bill who is John’s good friend who took time from his weekend to spend it with a complete stranger (Much Respect Bill) and finally Capt. John who is EXACTLY what I expected after that initial 5 minute conversation he is ABSOLUTELY CRAZY (in a great way) he is positive, he has the best attitude, he takes pride in his charters and most of all and the most important he is always smiling. In Closing this trip was ABSOLUTELY fantastic and these men made it that way not only because of the endless fish BUT more importantly all the laughing we did these men I will certainly consider them my friends, I will NEVER forget this trip and they will see me again.

Captain John is great, extremely knowledgeable. He new were the fish were, non-stop action all night long, what a great time.

We had the best time saltwater bow fishing with John and Garrett. The weather and conditions weren’t cooperating for a bit but they did not give up. They knew my bucket list item was sting rays.after a few hours of searching we were rewarded for our persistence and bagged a few rays. In the meantime of hunting them down my husband scored several sheepshead. I can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of us. This was our birthday present to each other and I couldn’t think of a better gift. John and Garrett have customers for life now. We’ll be back.

Blew expectations out of the water! Great group of guys who are very knowledgeable. Put us on a LOT of fish. I would highly recommend to anyone if you’re looking for a great time and wanna shoot some fish.

These group of guys are out standing. Above and beyond the expectations. Very knowledgeable and knew where the fish were. It was an awesome time. Can’t wait for the next trip

Had an Amazing time! Captain John and Garret gave us a tone of shooting for non stop action! They were both very knowledgeable, and kind! Had so much fun! Thank you John and Garret!

Awesome trip. We saw a ridiculous amount of fish. Crew was super knowledgeable and a blast to fish with. Can't wait to get back out with them.
