About This Tour
Spear fishing brings a whole new dimension to diving. There is nothing quite like the focus and patience required to stalk fish in their own environment, and the reward of bringing home a fresh catch you harvested yourself. Our spear fishing tours take you to productive sites where you can put your skills to the test.
We cover species identification, shot placement, local regulations, and safe speargun handling before every trip. A valid Arkansas or Oklahoma fishing license is required depending on the location, and all state size and bag limits are strictly observed. We focus on abundant species like drum, carp, and gar to ensure sustainable harvest.
Both beginners and experienced spear fishers are welcome. If you have never tried it before, we will teach you the fundamentals and set you up with the right equipment. If you are already experienced, we will take you to the best spots we know.
