Your boat for the day is a 24’ Bay boat with space for 6 passengers. Capt. James will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself. There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time!
A few items to bring include sunglasses, a hat, and sunblock (non-spray). Some drinks will be offered, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles. Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
