About
Captain: Jason Whitfield
10 Hour Offshore Bottom Fishing Trip on our 42’ Sally D. We provide tackle, licenses, cut bait, etc. Photos and a description of the boat are available on our website. No more than 6 people allowed per USCG regulations.
Additional Expenses:
- Bring your own food and drinks in a small cooler.
- Fish Cleaning. We do not clean fish. March through October, there is a fish cleaning service available at the marina. We will assist you in getting your fish to the marina's processor. The cost is ordinarily determined by the pound. If you plan to keep fish, you need to bring a cooler that you can leave in your vehicle while fishing. We are not aware of any do-it-yourself fish cleaning facilities because wildlife regulators want the fish processors to keep track of what is caught.
- TIP. A customary tip for the captain/crew is 20% of the charter price.
