Michigan law allows 3 lines per angler. We often fish with all the allowable lines in the water up to 18. There are times when other boat traffic, water depth or other conditions dictate we fish less lines. |

Michigan law allows 5 fish per person but only 3 of any species. Lake trout need to be at least 20" and all other species need to be at least 10". A limit is reached when any part of the daily limit is reached. For example, if you have four anglers aboard and 12 of any species is caught. If at the same time a few other species are caught they can also be kept, but once a limit of species is reached, we must return to the dock. |

Let your captain know how comfortable you are and what you would like to do. Let the captain know how much you want to learn, he would be happy to share his knowledge. All the tackle is provided and your captain knows where to go to increase your chances of catching fish. Let your captain take care of the details so you can have a fun day on the water with friends and family. |

Everyone wants a flat sunny day out on the lake with fish biting , but the reality is we can't always have that. Your captain's responsibility is to make sure his guests are safe and to have a good time. Safety is concern #1. Bad weather is subjective. We will fish in rain, but not high waves. Rain won't hurt anything, but high winds will raise the waves to unsafe levels. Lightning will bring the trip to an abrupt halt as well. Boats are often grounded, but taking a lightning strike at minimum will blow every electrical component on the vessel and worse yet, could injure someone. Your captain will contact you either the day before or the morning of, if bad weather is inevitable. You can then discuss either scheduling for another day, or trying a later time that day. You can rest assured, the experience of your captain will keep you safe and ensure you have a good time. This is all about having fun, and we do our best to schedule trips to take advantage of good weather conditions. |
