Please park in the marina parking lot, not the boat launch. I will meet you at the
marina store. 

Typically we suggest arriving 15 minutes before departing to avoid a rush start.
This allows everyone to get settled in before the boat leaves the dock.
Departure times are determined by the sunrise and the season.

Yes, 6 per person for Walleye, 10 per person for Perch

Yes, we can provide fish cleaning services for an additional fee.

Up to 5 people, 6 upon special approval from the captain

We suggest that you take motion sickness medicine (i.e. Dramamine) the night
before and the morning of. We recommend keeping breakfast portions to a
minimum. You can eat once out on the lake and your body becomes
accustomed to the water. In the event your sickness becomes intolerable,
we will cut the trip short and return to dock. The captain will let you
make the call. There will be no refund for returning early.

There are many places in the area to get a meal, ranging from the wineries
to the strip. A popular option is to do “Hook and Cook” at The Boot American
Country Saloon just south of the marina. They will take a portion of your catch
and cook it for you for a small fee while you relax after a day of fighting walleye.
A great way to end a day of fishing!

If canceled 7 days or more before your trip you will get a full refund or you
can reschedule your charter. If you cancel within 7 days you will lose your
deposit.

Safety is of the utmost importance. The Captain will make that decision and
notify you with as much advance notice as possible to reschedule your charter.
