About Your Trip
Climb aboard The Ark—a custom-built 23’ bowfishing machine—and get ready for a nighttime river adventure like no other! With top-of-the-line equipment, spacious shooting decks, and expert guidance from Captain Cody, this trip promises an unforgettable experience for everyone from seasoned bowfishermen to first-time shooters.
On this 5–6 hour excursion, you’ll head out after dark to troll the river under powerful lights, revealing a whole new world teeming with life. These nighttime trips are not only
action-packed—they're also visually stunning. As you glide along the river, you'll spot a wide range of fish species and native wildlife. The main targets on this trip are Snakehead, Gar, Catfish, and Carp—aggressive, hard-fighting fish that make for exciting shots and satisfying hauls.
Captain Cody has crafted these trips to be safe, fun, and welcoming to all experience levels. Whether you’ve never held a bow or you’re a veteran sharpshooter, Cody and his crew will walk you through everything and keep the energy high all night long. The Ark can accommodate up to 6 shooters at a time, and everything you need—bows, arrows, reels, and lights—is included for up to 4 people. Extra shooters can be added for a small fee.
The boat itself is a fully customized bowfishing platform, designed for stability, visibility, and comfort. Outfitted with top-tier equipment and an onboard cooler stocked with ice and waters, it’s one of the best setups in the game. There's also plenty of deck space so everyone has room to move and shoot.
What to Bring:
- A cooler with ice to bring home your cleaned fish fillets
- Snacks or drinks of your choice (waters and ice provided onboard)
- A camera to capture the action and memories
- Old clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty—this is hands-on fun!
A Few Notes:
- First Mates work hard to make your trip a success—tips are greatly appreciated and typically average around 20% of the trip cost.
- Captain Cody will clean your catch, so you’ll head home with fish ready for the fryer or freezer!
Whether you're celebrating something special or just want to try something new, this nighttime bowfishing trip with Captain Cody offers an epic blend of adventure, challenge, and unforgettable memories. Book now and come experience the river like never before!
