2. What happens if we don't catch any fish?
Although this almost never
happens, you will either be refunded the total cost of your charter or
apply it to another day on the water. If the charter is cut short upon
the customer's request or the start time was delayed signifiacantly by a late
arrival, normal fees will still be in effect, no matter the outcome.
Guarantees are not in effect for all jigging and drift/cast walleye charters.
3. What happens in the event of bad weather?
The captain makes the final decision on all weather conditons. If the weather keeps us from fishing
you will either have the choice of rescheduling, or a refund of your deposit.
4. Is alcohol allowed onboard?
Of course alcohol is allowed, but it
is suggested that you drink in moderation for obvious reasons (Please try to
avoid beverages in glass bottles if at all possible). Illegal drugs of any
kind are not allowed under any circumstances.....DON'T EVEN ASK!!!
5. Who cleans the fish that we catch?
For all walleye and salmon charters, the captain will clean and package
you fish immediately after your trip at no extra cost. Due to the extensive amount of
tedious work required, perch cleaning is not included for such charters.
6. Do I need a fishing license?
Every adult in your party will need a valid fishing license. The term 'adult'
varies, depending on what state we will fishing in. If we will be fishing in Michigan waters,
any person 17 or over will need a license, however in Ohio, any person 16 or
over will need a fishing license.
7. How many fish are we allowed to catch?
This depends on what type of charter you have scheduled. The table below shows the bag limits and size limits for the various waters that we fish.
8. Is there a bathroom onboard?
Yes, our boat is equipped with a private, stand-up marine head (which is a fully functional bathroom in mariners' terms). It is always kept clean for your comfort and convenience.

1. Should I bring my own fishing tackle?
That question depends on what
type of charter you have scheduled. If you have scheduled a trolling charter
(either walleye or salmon) then you should not bring any tackle along. However if your
charter is either a drift/cast/jig walleye or a perch trip, then you can choose to
bring along whatever you think may help you to catch fish. Keep in mind that this is only an
option, and all the necessary tackle will be supplied to all
customers who don't wish to bring their own.
