In the fall, spring and winter months dress as if you are skiing or snowmobiling. Hand-warmers, foot warmers, wool socks, and layers. Keep in mind you can always remove a layer.
In the summer months don’t forget sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and comfortable shoes. Summer mornings are often very cool, we suggest bringing a light jacket or sweatshirt for the morning ride out.
Remember: It is always easier to remove layers than add them. However you think you should dress, dress for 10 degrees cooler, as it is always colder on the water.
Most people bring their lunches and beverages as the trips could last about seven hours.
Bring a small cooler for any items you plan to bring.
When transporting your delicious catch home its recommended you have a cooler with ice to preserve your catch during your ride home.
All fish are cleaned and placed in Zip lock bags by your captain after fishing (Perch Excluded).
** Please leave fish cooler in your vehicle while fishing.
