Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What do I need to bring?
We supply all your fishing tackle, licenses, bait, coolers and ice. You just need to bring your own food and drinks. If you are going out on a daytime trip, you should remember some sunscreen, a pair of sunglasses(polarized if possible so you can see down into the water better), and maybe a hat.

Is there anything I can’t bring on the boat?
We ask that you don’t bring glass containers on the boat. Bottled beers sometimes fall and glass is potentially dangerous. If you bring beer and sodas, please bring cans or plastics.

What about alcohol on the boat?
You are welcome to bring some cold beers out with you or some wine coolers. No hard liquor is allowed on the Drift fishing boats. We want you to have fun and if you want to have a few beers, that’s fine. But please remember it’s a fishing trip, not a drinking trip. Since its mostly private charters on the sportfishing boats, you can whatever you want to on those boats. Captain’s orders overrule ALL policies of the company when at sea.

What can I expect to catch out there?
Fishing varies from day to day and season to season. For the latest news on what’s biting and what you can hope to catch, check out my latest fishing report, right here on this website. I try to update it as often as I have time to(when I’m not fishing). Usually once every 2 weeks or so.

What are the age limits on the boat?
Our sportfishing boats have no age restrictions. Our drift fishing boats have a minimum age of 4 years old.

Can I eat the fish I catch?
Anything you catch out there is yours. The mates work for tips and are always happy to filet your fish for you. There are some restaurants in town that will cook your fish for you if you bring it to them. Ask the mate and he will tell you which ones will do that.

What if I catch something really big?
If you catch a big game fish, we have a great local taxidermist that does great work. If you’d like to get something that you catch mounted, ask your mate about it and he will help you to get it mounted.

I’ve never fished before. What experience is necessary?
A lot of the people we take fishing have never fished before in their lives. We are literally experts and teaching new people how to fish. We love getting new people into our sport.

What time should I get there for my trip?
Try to get to the boat about ½ hour before the boat is scheduled to leave. This gives you time to get food and drinks from the 7-11 store right next to our marina and check in with our office to let us know that you’re here.
