What You Need to Bring
We attempt to make your fishing trip as convenient, safe, and comfortable as we possibly can. To help meet your personal needs during the trip, here are some things you need to bring: lunch, snacks, beverages, cooler, sunscreens, sunglasses, camera and film or tapes, foulweather gear and seasonal clothing.
Motion sickness medicine can be inexpensive insurance to make sure you have a good fishing trip. Consult with your physician.
Provisions
We provide bait, tackle, and ice. You may bring your favorite rod, if you wish, as long as it is in good condition with fresh line matched to the gamefish you are seeking. We carry a lot of ice to insure that your catch is in the best condition possible when it hits the dock.
You will need a large cooler to take your catch home. We strongly recommend 1 to 2 pounds of ice for each pound of fillets. This assures that your catch will arrive at its destination in excellent condition for your dining preparation and enjoyment. Fish cleaning services are available at the marina.
