How and where do we clean the fish?

The Captain and or Crew will filet and bag your fish for salmon trips. Custom Cleaning will have a small fee such as steaking etc.

For walleye trips fish cleaning is available at an additional charge.
 

Are alcoholic beverages permitted?

Yes, But if anyone in your party becomes overly intoxicated the charter will be cut short and the full rate will be incurred by your party. Your safety is my responsibility. Absolutely no illegal drugs are allowed
 

Will I need a fishing license? 

Yes, the D.N.R. requires anyone 17 or older to have on their person a valid fishing license plus an all species license or a one day license if you are fishing for Salmon or Trout. If we decide to fish in Ohio waters on Lake Erie trips ,an Ohio license will be needed ,Ohio offers a one day license as well .
 

Does your boat have a bathroom?

I have a toilet enclosed in the cabin.

Questions To Ask The Captain

be a good charter client

Do I get my own rod ?

I offer a personal "get your own rod" approach to charter fishing. You can do as little or as much as you choose, its up to you. Sit back and reel em in or help set the gear and hook your own fish. First time fisher folks? not to worry I will show you what to do, 20 years experience ? I can deal with that too.
 

What about motion sickness?

Over the counter products such as Dramamine can be found at most Pharmacies. If you have concerns about these products consult your physician.
