What happens when we catch a fish?
When you catch your fish, the mate will unhook your fish and place it in the fish box.
What happens to the catch at the dock?

Do we need a fishing license?
No, we supply your fishing license, rod, reel, bait, tackle and safe transportation to and from the fishing grounds.
Do you guarantee we will catch fish?
There is a reason why they call it "Fishing" rather than "Catching Fish”! However, we endeavor to employ the best crew in the business and they will do everything possible to ensure you have a safe, enjoyable and productive trip. We strive to earn your business and keep our customers happy so that they will return to our docks year after year.
Is it customary to tip the crew? If so, how much?
Tipping should be based on the service you receive and rather than the amount of fish you catch. Hey, you’re the fisherman (person) right!
When deciding what to tip, you should consider the following:
Was the Crew Courteous?
Were they helpful throughout the day?
Did they answer your questions in a polite and thorough manner?
Were they attentive to your needs?
If yes. Then it is customary to tip the crew 15% to 20%
