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 31' Tiara Open Sport Fisherman with 12 beam (wide) This boat was design for Great Lakes Fishing. It is powered by 2 big block Chevy 454'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.
How do I find your Boat? I have included a map to the boat on my directions page.
