Bowfishing on the Delaware River

Tale Chaser bowfishes out of the Delaware River in central New Jersey. Usually the day before the trip we will establish a meeting place with you. Trips will usually start at 8 p.m. and run until midnight. Please keep in mind that since bowfishing is a sight sport, clarity of the water is the most important factor, heavy rains prior to your trip could cause us to reschedule because of heavy silt conditions.

Species of fish that you will encounter are common carp, grass carp, suckers, catfish and snakeheads. Most shots are within ten feet. The prime time is May - June when the big carp are spawning, but good shooting is encountered throughout the Summer and Fall with carp ranging from 5 to 60 lbs. Bowfishing is a fun sport for the whole family and is a way to keep shooting throughout the spring, summer and fall.
