IF WE LIMIT BEFORE THE DAY IS UP WHAT HAPPENS?:
Most of the time customers are happy to go in, get their fish cleaned and head home. Fish cleaning often takes more than an hour. But
others may want to keep fishing on a catch-and-release basis. Fishing for a second species, though, increases the charter fee to the combo
rate.

HOW LONG IS THE FISHING DAY?
I offer an 8-9-hour day on average at the posted prices. Customers are free to call the charter any time they wish but a full-day fee will be
charged.

ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED ON MEGA BITES?
I can't think of a better way to enjoy a fishing charter than with the whole family present. But age is important. It's been my experience that
children younger than age 8 or 9 should stay home. Younger ones quickly grow restless and bored and could spoil the outing for the others.
If you have children consider a short day for them. Adults go fishing in the morning, come back for the kids at noon, and head back out to
finish the day. Make plans accordingly. A fuel charge of one gallon per mile round trip is assessed for this service.

WHAT ABOUT FISHING GEAR?:
Capt. Tony has taken the worry out of having the right fishing equipment. Of course, you can bring your own or use mine at no extra cost.
My gear is all top-of-the-line and field tested by professional fishermen. I use Fenwick rods and Daiwa/Shimano reels spooled with Berkley
Fireline. Each rod and reel combo retails for around $200. I believe good equipment catches more fish.

WHAT TO BRING:
Cooler with food/drink, clothing to match the weather conditions, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, camera, and a large cooler ( min 35 quarts) to
take your fish home at the end of the day. But leave your fish cooler in your vehicle until you return. I have a large ice chest on board for the
fish. My fishing gear and lures are available to use at no extra cost but if you bring your own rods and reels here are some guidelines. A
six-foot medium action rod and reel is a good combination for Lake Erie walleye/bass/perch fishing. Spool the reels with 10-pound test line.

WHY MUST I WEAR SOFT-SOLED SHOES? AND WHY CAN'T I BRING MY OLD METAL TACKLE BOX?
First, soft-soled shoed are more comfortable and you have better traction on the boat's deck. You have a greater chance of slipping with
street shoes or work boots. The lug soles of work boots also can harbor stones which will scratch the boat's fiberglass floor. Metal tackle
boxes do the same thing by leaving scratches. Damage by either is an expensive repair.

CAN WE BRING BEER?
Of course. But please drink in moderation for safety's sake.
