Frequently Asked Questions about
  • What do I need to bring?
  • Camera with a polarizing filter and plenty of film.
  • Polarized sunglasses to penetrate the glare of the water's surface.
  • Sunscreen with S.P.F. no lower than #30.
  • Synthetic, loose fitting clothing to minimize skin exposure to the sun.
  • A hat with a good visor is recommended 
  • Boat shoes or sturdy sandals.
  • Do you provide fishing tackle?
Yes. Whether you spin fish with bait or lures or want to fly fish, I am equally adept at either discipline and am more than happy to show you how to pursue your fishing goals. I supply only the best tackle which will provide you with hours of trouble-free fishing pleasure.
  • Do I need a fishing license?
No. When you fish with me on my boat all fishing licenses that you need will be provided. I am a fully licensed and insured fishing charter captain. All you need to bring is yourself and a friend and I will do the rest!
  • Do I have to be an expert?
Absolutely not! I consider myself to be a very patient, fun loving guide. I enjoy fishing with people who are new to the sport and I am eager to share my knowledge and experiences with anyone whether they be a novice or an expert.
  • Do you provide refreshments?
Yes. I have a cooler on board stocked with ice, soda, water and sport drinks. I also provide snack foods like pretzels and power bars to help erase hunger pangs. If you require more sustenance, I recommend that you bring a light lunch such as a sandwich and piece of fruit, especially on a full day charter.
  • Will I get sea sick?
Not likely. I do my best to seek out waters that are calm enough for all anglers to enjoy, however, conditions can change rapidly on the water. I can provide Dramamine or seasickness bracelets for those who require them.
  • What are your rates?
My rates are very competitive with other guides the given regions I fish. Please refer to my fishing charter rates page for more detailed information.
  • Where will we meet?
I will contact you by phone about one week in advance so that we can arrange a time and place to meet. I will call again, usually a day before the charter, to apprise you of weather and fishing conditions.
