Thoughts about your trip

My goal for your day on the water is that you have a safe and enjoyable day. If I am able to provide you with that, I am confident that you will return to fish with me again.

I can not always make the fish bite, but my promise to you is that you will not find a charter anywhere else that will work harder to find you fish! Along with this cast away is the most reasonably priced trip on the great lakes!

Last season I logged over 1500 miles on the water. Although I share and receive information from other charters and fishermen, I personally spend many days on the water scouting in preparation for your trip. I am not interested in taking you for a boat ride, I want you to catch fish! I follow the fish, whether they are 3 miles from harbor or 15 miles out.

Nearly every charter runs its eight hour day dock-to-dock. This means that part of your eight hour trip consists of a boat ride to and from your fishing spot. I do not include your boat ride as part of your day's fishing; your eight hour trip with cast away will run 9-10 hours, depending on the distance we go to find fish.

There is one important area that I can not stress enough: the lack of preparation to prevent sea sickness, and that oversight will cut your trip short! I regularly see people that refuse to take the necessary precautions because they feel it will not affect them. Trust me-- it will!

I recommend the following:

1. A good nights rest
2. No greasy food for breakfast
3. Non drowsy Dramamine 1 hour before we leave the dock

If you are prone to motion sickness you can contact your M.D. and ask for a prescription. This medication is by far more effective than Dramamine with no drowsy side effects.
