If you're in the market for a day to remember, look no further than Striper Slayers. With Captain Fred at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Striped Bass, Hybrid Striped Bass, Walleye, and who knows what else!On the day of your trip you're likely to troll using light tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your trip begins aboard a 24' Glasstream center console with space for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Capt. Fred has 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.

Before coming aboard, it will be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is not allowed.

Now, time to hit the water with Striper Slayers!
