Frequently Asked Questions
1Q: Why should we leave the dock
at dawn?
1A: The best fishing is done in the early
morning, which means leaving the dock at 6:00-6:30 am.
This early departure puts us out on the water before the winds
get high and the bay gets rough. However, we tailor your
trip to fit your needs.
2Q: How is our fishing site determined?
2A: Our fishing site is determined by wind
direction, current and activity level from previous trips.
3Q: How is our meeting place
determined?

and travel to the boat together, you can meet us a the boat
ramp, or we can pick you up at your lodging pier.

why?
