The Trip

Typically, we meet up right at or before dawn to ensure that we catch the first bite of the day. But the schedule is flexible based on your needs. For example, if you wanted to run a half-day from 10 AM to 3 PM that would be fine. However, I recommend early or late day trips as the fishing is often best then.

The Boat: I guide off of a 19' Carolina Skiff. This boat is perfect for shallow water fishing as it only draws inches. It is fitted with a Honda 50 hp (4-stroke). The bow is raised and flat, which allows anglers to site fish and provides a structure-free platform for flyfishing. The boat is also used for oyster farming, so you will notice a little mud here and there.<.p>

Departure locations:

• Mattakeessett Court (Town Pier)
• Howland's Landing

Food/Drink: Although I am an excellent chef, you should bring anything you might want to eat out on the water. I'll have backup drinks (water) and sunscreen. But I recommend that you pack a bag of food, snacks, drinks, and sunscreen.

Tackle: I can provide light tackle and fly gear. Of course, you are free to take along your own.

Safety: The boat is equipped with emergency communication capabilities (VHF and cellular phone), emergency signaling, and first aid. As recommended above, please bring water, sunscreen, and sunglasses or clear eye protection.
