You’ll be dropping lines from a 17’ Lund Aluminum fishing with room for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.
You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is available online, or you can ask the captain.
