Ready to cast a line in Hopewell? Look no further than Goober Time Guide Service! Your guide for the day is Captain Captain Dan, offering their sportfishing experience.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Catfish, Crappie, Smallmouth Bass, White Perch, Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, and anything else that bites.

You'll target your catch by spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Any fish within the legal limit are yours to take with you.

If you're traveling with the family, youwill be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! 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!

You'll be fishing aboard a 26' Pontoon that can carry up to 10 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Capt. Captain Dan will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's always wise to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Goober Time Guide Service and get hooked!
