Recommendations from the Captain

Before your trip you will need to purchase Michigan all species fishing license (daily or annual) good for the dates of your trip. 

Recommendations for a comfortable trip.
  • Please wear soft- soled shoes with non-marking soles (no work boots or black soles please)
  • Hat or visor
  • Sunscreen for your skin and lip balm for your lips. Please no spray sunscreen on the boat. 
  • Sunglasses
  • Motion sickness medication if you are prone to motion sickness. If you don’t know if you get motion sick, assume you do and take precautions. We recommend taking Bonine or Dramamine the night before your trip and the morning of your trip. Ginger is a natural motion sickness remedy, so also try ginger candy or ginger snaps.
  • Appropriate clothes for the season. Lake Michigan water temps generally cool the air down as much as 10-15º especially during the spring months He recommends dressing in layers.
  • Rain gear if rain is in the forecast. 
  • Small cooler with snacks and beverages of your choice. No glass containers please.
  • Large cooler for transporting your fish fillets home at the end of the day (he will clean and bag your fish for you).
