If youâd like to bring a combo of your own, please keep it to 1 or 2.
Can I keep the fish we catch?
Absolutely! Your Captain will inform you of what you may legally keep and it will be your decision to harvest per regulations per species. Please harvest only what you will use and leave the rest for your next trip. We will happily clean and bag your catch back at the dock.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my charter?
We will brief you of the expected weather conditions for your charter time as soon as practical. You will always have the opportunity to change your charter type from an offshore to inshore based upon the briefing we provide you and your judgment of your party. We will not take you fishing if there is a small craft advisory in effect or if we feel that there is a high probability that weather conditions could deteriorate to an unsafe condition during your scheduled charter. Don’t worry; if we take you out rest assured that the weather conditions are safe for your planned charter on our boat. We want you back again and again!
Should I tip the captain / crew?
Please make sure you are taking care of our crew at the end of the trip. Our Crew works for TIPS! 20% gratuity is greatly appreciated. You may pay the tips via the card on file but the crew prefers the tip in cash.
No GPS Tracking Devices!
There are no GPS tracking devices allowed on our charters. You may have your cell phone out for taking pictures but they must be in âAirplane Modeâ and not actively tracking our position. We have spent countless hours and resources to locate some of the best fishing grounds around and they are for the sole use of Salty Dog Charters to give our clients the best fishing experience possible. Violation of this policy by any member of your crew will result in the Captain returning you immediately to port and charging you the full price for your charter. Thank you for your cooperation in making sure future anglers aboard our charters will have the same great fishing trip as you.
