Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we get asked.

What do I need to bring on the trip?

Just drinks & snacks in a small personal cooler to save room in the boat; we have everything else.

Do you always catch fish?

Not always, but we usually do.

Can I keep fish?

Yes, you are welcome to keep fish. Before you arrive for your trip, ask your guide what you need to put your fish in.

Do you clean the fish?

No, we no longer can do any type of food processing.

Do I need to bring my own rods & reels or bait?

No, we have everything; all you need to bring is a small cooler with drinks & snacks.

Do you run party boats where you mix people?

No, our charters are private charters. There will only be you and your guest onboard.

What if we encounter inclement weather?

Safety is our primary concern. In inclement weather where safety is an issue, fishing trips may be rescheduled if possible or canceled if the captain deems it necessary.

Where do you recommend I stay in the area?

There are several places to stay. After booking, your guide will call you. Tell him all your plans while you are here. He will be able to recommend the best places to stay to meet all your needs.

How far are you from downtown?

People Lyft or Uber from downtown daily with an approximate 20-minute drive.

Why do you run 5-hour trips for the Stripers & Hybrids?

After fishing this lake for many years, I have found a 5-hour trip is by far the best. These fish feed every 4 to 5 hours, so I extended my 4-hour trip to 5 hours. Many days this lets us get in on a second feed and gives us a chance to catch double the number of fish than on a 4-hour trip.  I do not charge for the extra hour.  My Gift To You!

Morning or Afternoon Trips Better?

Sometimes fish bite better in the mornings and sometimes they bite better in the afternoons. No one knows why or what days this will happen. Most of our regular customers will get one morning trip & one afternoon trip this way they have it covered. You can do a morning & afternoon trip in the same day or do them on different days.

Is There Anything Else I Need To Know?

Yes, you will need to know the logistics of your specific trip. After booking your trip, your guide will call you. He will review your trip details, including the meeting place, directions, etc. He will also answer any other questions you may have at that time. The main thing you need to do next is to book your trip. This is what reserves the date & trip you would like to go on so no one else can get that time slot.
