 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. To

Licenses are
also
available
locally. In
Ludington
Walmart and
Meijer both
carry them
as well as
Captain
Chuck's
Great Lakes
Tackle and
Pere
Marquette
Sport Shop.
One day
licenses can
be purchased
in advance
for any
given day
but we
suggest you
wait till
the day
before.

What
equipment do
I need to
bring?
We furnish
all fishing
gear, rods,
reels, lures
etc..
|
Does
your boat
have a
bathroom?
Yes,
enclosed for
your
privacy.
|
How
big and what
make is your
boat?
We have a
28' Tiara
Open Sport
Fisherman
with
10 beam
(wide) This
boat was
design for
Great Lakes
Fishing. It
is powered
by 2 big
block Chevy
350's.
Twin engines
mean speed
and safety.
The fishing area
is clear of
all
obstacles
This boat
easily
accommodates
6 passengers
plus crew.
Vector
downriggers, GPS,
Sonar [fish
finder],
Marine
radio, and
much more.
|
What
about
weather or
big waves?
If charter
must be
canceled for
weather
related
problems, we
will
reschedule
if possible.
The Boat and
the Captain
can handle
rough water,
but it's not
very fun for
most. Your
input on
this matter
as we view
the lake
will weigh
highly on
the decision
to fish. The
Captain
wants you to
have a good
time. That
means if
you're
uncomfortable
we will turn
back!!!!
Once the
decision to
fish is made
if we must
come back
due to sea
sickness as
long as the
Lake and
conditions
have not
changed for
the worse
you will be
responsible
for the for
the trip.
|
How
and where do
we clean the
fish?
The Captain
or the mate
or both will
clean [
filet ] and
bag your
fish. Custom
Cleaning
will have a
small fee
such as
steaking
etc..
|
Should we
bring
anything to
eat or
drink?
Yes, which
ever trip
you take,
6 hr or 8 hr
trip you
will get
hungry and
thirsty.
It's better
to have to
much then
not enough.
|
What
about sea
sickness?
Over the
counter
products
such as
Dramamine
can be found
at most drug
and convince
stores.
Most
products to
effective
need to be
taken the
night before
or at least
2 hours
before the
trip. If you
have
concerns
it's best to
consult your
physician.
Ear patches
can be very
effective
but you must
have a
prescription.
From our
experience
more people
suffer from
hangovers
than sea
sickness.
Party after
the trip.
|
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.
|
Tips,
should we
and if so
how much?
Well your
discretion
on this is
completely
yours.
Normally the
Mate works
for nominal
wages and
not unlike a
waitress,
tips make up
a good part
of their
income for
there
efforts. Use
your own
judgment on
this.
