ALL BOOKINGS:
Once you are on this website on the home page you can click on the calendar icon which will redirect you to a booking system. Here you will type in your date of choice and how many people are going on the trip, then you will be able to see all the Captains that are available for that date. You can choose your Captain, then you will be able to agree to all terms and conditions and reserve your date with a $50.00 deposit and a $3.00 processing fee. You will then receive an email confirmation receipt and your Captain will contact you as soon as possible. Once you are finished with your fishing trip, you will pay your Captain the remaining balance, bait reimbursement and any gratuity.
• VERY IMPORTANT: For next day bookings (example - on Friday, you want to book for Saturday) please don't book after 7pm central time. Every Captain will need to be aware of a reservation at least 8-10 hours before the trip. Most charters start at 6am-7am, so each Captain will need to reserve bait the night before, make plans, speak with you to give you all the details and a lot of them will be asleep. To guarantee your reservation, giving your Captain enough time to plan the trip is a must. For any other type of reservation, you can book it any time of the day 24 hours a day.
