About Your Trip

Experience the Mississippi River in a completely different way on an exciting nighttime bowfishing adventure. After the sun goes down, powerful LED lights illuminate the shallow water, revealing fish that would otherwise remain hidden beneath the surface. It's a fast-paced, interactive experience that combines the excitement of archery with the thrill of being on the water after dark.

Whether you've never picked up a bow or you're an experienced shooter, Cooper will guide you through every step of the process, from equipment setup and shooting techniques to spotting fish and making accurate shots. His years of experience and knowledge of the local waters help put anglers in the best possible position for an action-packed evening.

Bowfishing is one of the most engaging ways to experience the outdoors, requiring teamwork, quick reactions, and plenty of laughs along the way. Every fish presents a new challenge, and the constantly changing opportunities keep everyone involved throughout the trip.

Your four-hour adventure takes place aboard the same stable 20-foot Lowe Big River jet boat, specially suited for navigating the Mississippi after dark. Everything you need is included, including bows, arrows, reels, and all necessary equipment, so there's no previous experience or specialized gear required. The boat accommodates up to three guests, making it a perfect outing for families, friends, or anyone looking to try something completely different on the water.

Bring weather-appropriate clothing and your favorite snacks or drinks if you'd like, then get ready for an unforgettable evening chasing fish beneath the lights on one of Minnesota's most unique outdoor adventures.
