How do I book and pay for a trip?

You can book HERE, submit a Contact Me Form HERE or message me on Facebook, HERE! All payments can be paid at the beginning or the end of your trip! You will pay a $50 deposit to secure your slot. We accept Cash, Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, and Zelle. Gratuity (tip) standard practice is 10-20% of the cost of your trip. Gratuity is greatly appreciated! Please go to the bottom of the homepage under "payments" HERE to pay the deposit for your trip!

​

What time do we arrive and what should I bring?

Start time is dependent on the time of year, number of bookings for the day, and weather. Kyle will get in touch with you regarding the start time, but typically in the late fall/winter the start time is 7-8 am, and in spring/summer it is 6 am. This is flexible and can be worked out! For a Crappie trip, bring a cooler if you'd like to take home fish, a hat, sunglasses, supportive shoes, sunscreen, rain gear, and warm clothing (depending on the weather). Alcohol and guns are prohibited on the boat.

​

Can I bring the fish home with me that we catch?

Absolutely! Crappie are some of the best, flaky, freshwater fish you can eat!

​

How many people can go on a trip?

The maximum capacity is 8 people or 1025 lbs per USCG guidelines. Although the capacity is 8, trips work best with up to 4 guests plus your guide for Crappie trips and 2 guests for Bass Trips. In North Carolina, children under the age of 13, must wear a PFD (life jacket) at all times on the boat, and children must be 5 or older to join.

​​

Do I need to bring my own tackle and gear?

You absolutely can if you would like! Otherwise, rods, reels, and all tackle will be provided during your trip.

​

Do I need to buy a fishing license for this trip?

Yes, all anglers ages 16 years or older will need to purchase a fishing license before your trip. You’ll need a freshwater inland fishing license, which can be purchased HERE.

​

Can I extend my trip beyond the time I booked for?

Yes! You can extend your trip unless another booking is scheduled right after yours. For example, if you book a 4-hour trip and want to extend it to a 5 or 6-hour trip, you can do so if available. You would pay the difference for the extended trip duration.

​​

What type of fish will we be targeting?

We specialize in Crappie and Bass fishing on Jordan Lake and Shearon Harris Reservoir. Depending on the season, we can adjust the focus of the trip based on your fishing preferences.

​​

Can I bring food and drinks on the boat?

Yes, you’re welcome to bring snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, and water. A cooler will be available to store your drinks. Please note that alcohol is prohibited during the trip for safety reasons.

​​

What happens if the weather is bad on the day of our trip?

Safety is our top priority. If the weather looks dangerous (storms or high winds), we will reschedule the trip for a later date or issue a refund for any deposits paid.

​​

Can I book a trip for a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary?

Absolutely! Fishing trips make great gifts for special occasions, and we can work with you to customize the trip to make it a memorable experience. Just let us know what you're celebrating when you book!

​​

What is included in the Garmin and Lowrance training sessions?

Our Garmin Livescope and Lowrance Active Target training sessions are 1-hour educational trips focused on teaching you how to maximize the use of your sonar equipment. You’ll learn how to locate fish more effectively and improve your overall fishing skills.

Do you offer gift certificates for fishing trips?

​​

What is your cancellation policy?

We understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel your trip, please provide at least 48 hours' notice for a full refund of your deposit. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the trip may forfeit the deposit.

​​

Do you offer corporate or group bookings?

Yes, we can accommodate corporate trips or group bookings with advanced notice. Please contact us directly to discuss details and availability for larger groups.

​​

Are there any restrooms on the boat?

No, the boat does not have restroom facilities, so we recommend using the restroom before arriving at the launch site. We can also make accommodations to dock mid-trip if needed.

​​

Do you offer evening or night fishing trips?

Yes! We offer specialized Night Bite Striper Trips where we target Striped Bass in the evening hours as the sun sets. This is a unique way to experience fishing in North Carolina's beautiful waters.
