| Q |
I have never been on a boat, what's is the day like. |
| A |
The best way to answer this is to explain a typical trip.
You should arrive about 45 minutes before our scheduled departure
time. When you get there you should get on the boat and grab
a rag from the pile that is sitting on the bench as you board.
Take the rag and tie off a spot for yourself and for anyone
else in your party. Next, go to the office that is located next
to the boat and purchase your boarding pass. 15 minutes before
departure the mates will give a short safety speech. You can
now board the boat for final departure. That's it. Your on your
way. The mates will make sure that you have a rod and reel of
our own on the way to the fishing grounds. Now, sit back and
enjoy the ride. Buy your breakfast from our onboard restaurant.

| Q |
What is the Jackpot? |
| A |
The jackpot is like a 50/50 drawing without the 50. We don't
take half. All the money collect for the jackpot goes to the
winner. So, if there are 60 people on the boat and 50 people
go in the jackpot then the person who catch's the biggest edible
fish wins $250 |
| Q |
Should I tip the mates? |
| A |
As you would with your waiter or waitress in a restaurant
a 15% to 20% is customary but it all depends on how you felt
you were treated. Our mates don’t charge for fish cleaning so
they depend upon your generosity. Tips for the Galley person
are separate from the deck crew. |
| Q |
Are there restrooms on board? |
| A |
Yes, both Women's and Men's and they are CLEAN and
well maintained with running FRESH water. |
| Q |
What do I need to bring with me? |
| A |
Nothing. We provide you with a rod, reel, bait and tackle.
You can buy hot fresh cooked food, beer, soda and snacks from
the galley. We do recommend you bring the following. Sunscreen,
sunglasses, visor or hat. |
| Q |
Can I bring a cooler? |
| A |
Yes you can but it can be no larger than 20 inches. |
| Q |
Can I bring my own fishing gear? |
| A |
Of course |
| Q |
Are Children welcome? |
| A |
MOST DEFINITELY |
| Q |
How many people do you go out with? |
| A |
We are licensed for 150 people but we limit the size of
the crowd to 66% of capacity. For our 12 hr trip we limit that
to 50 people which is 33% of capacity. |
| Q |
How far out do you go out? |
| A |
As far as it takes in the allotted time for whatever type
of trip we are on. For example, on our 12 hour trips we average
between 38 and up to 78 miles. It all depends on where the fish
are. On the ocean, every day is different. |
