Point Blank Bowfishing

Illinois Fishing Guide: Zach Nayden

Guide Phone: 309-224-9113

Where We Fish: Central Illinois and generally stay within 30 minutes of Peoria, Illinois.

Illinois Fishing Offered: We offer a once in a lifetime opportunity to come and bowfish for the exciting, acrobatic, flying Asian Carp. Generally a charter will last 6 hours or so depending on the stamina of the group. The action is nonstop from the time we leave the boat ramp until the time we quit. There are shot opportunities unmatched by hunting any other species around the globe. The rush you get after taking a big game animal comes in at a close second when we put you in the hot seat and try to shoot these crazy fish out of the air while trying to keep your composure from the flying attacks of the hundreds of fish trying to flee through the air in and around our boats. As if seeing this feat up close isn't exciting enough, the feeling when you take your first fish out of air is a feeling like no other hunt can compare. I can personally guarantee the most exciting target rich environment in the world, the rest is up to you. Be a part of history and come join us in the nations fastest growing outdoor sport with Point Blank.

Boat - Lodging: We use fully rigged War Eagle Boats on our charters. All bowfishing equipment is provided. Our Forge Bows are tunable to almost any shooter. They range from 20-60lb draw weight and 26-30" length. I recommend a lower weight because we are at full draw for a good portion of the day. Generally we break for lunch and eat at one of the restaurants on the riverfront in downtown Peoria. Boats are stocked with beverages and plenty of ice. I encourage everyone to bring personal snacks, sunscreen, old clothes, and a lot of courage. Illinois fishing licenses are available locally or can be purchased online and are required. If an overnight stay is required any hotel in the Peoria area would be fine. Most clients that make the trip can do so on a weekend and still have a successful trip and make it back to work by Monday morning.
