What do I need to bring with me on the charter?
All fishing equipment will be supplied.  Basically, you'll need to bring whatever you will need for the trip, such as appropriate clothing, sunscreen, sunglasses, camera, etc. 

Can we eat and drink on the boat?
Yes, there is ample room to eat on the boat, and a table in the cabin if needed.  You will need to provide your own snacks/lunch and beverages (no glass please).  Alcoholic beverages are allowed, in accordance with the law.  Your safety is my responsibility, and if anyone in your party becomes overly intoxicated, the charter will be cut short, and the full rate will still apply.  Absolutely no illegal drugs are allowed.

Can we keep the fish we catch?
We support catch and release.  That means we will make every attempt to release all of the muskie we catch.  If a "record" fish is caught, it is up to the customer's discretion whether or not to keep it, but we strongly encourage the release of all muskie.  We have a camera on the boat, and can take photos and measurements of your fish, that you can take to a taxidermist for a replica, which really last longer and look better anyway.

What if there's bad weather?
During a storm front is often the best time to fish for muskie.  However, your safety is our responsibility, and sometimes charters must be cancelled due to unsafe weather conditions.  If the charter must be cancelled due to weather-related problems, we will reschedule if possible.

Do I need to bring my own lures?
No.  All tackle, rods, and other fishing equipment will be supplied.  We've been fishing on Lake St. Clair for many years, and we have a good supply of lures, and all the hottest colors and styles.

Do I need a fishing license?
Yes, you will need a Michigan fishing license and probably a Canadian license.  Contact Captain Jay before your trip to see if you need a Canadian license.  You can get these on line by clicking on the links page or  you can go to your local tackle shop.

Does your boat have a bathroom?
Yes, there is a portable head inside the cabin.

Where is your boat located?
The boat is trailered to the launch closest to the area where the captain will choose to fish. This reduces travel time for more fishing action, reduces fuel costs and slip fee's that in the end  benefits you by keeping charter rates low.
