At the end of your trip, Pj will offer to clean and fillet your catch so it’s ready for the grill once you get home. What better way to break the winter blues than a successful day of fishing, followed by rewarding yourself with a delicious meal?

All you have to do is pick up a fishing license before your trip. You can purchase one online or at a local retailer or bait and tackle shop. Feel free to bring some snacks and drinks as well and keep them in the captain’s cooler.
