Everything you need to know about this charter
Do I need a fishing license?
No. All fishing licenses are included in your trip price. Captain BJ covers everyone on board.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Safety comes first. Captain BJ monitors conditions closely and will reschedule your trip if the weather doesn't cooperate. We'd rather fish another day than put anyone at risk. There's no penalty for weather-related rescheduling.
