Nope, you don't need to worry about a Virginia fishing license! Our license covers everyone on board, making it hassle-free for out-of-state anglers. If you still want one, feel free to purchase it.

Space disappears quickly on a boat so we recommend bringing only what is necessary. We recommend: rain gear, warm weather clothes, sunglasses, sea sickness medicine, food, snacks, beverages, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and a phone to take photos of your catch!

No need to worry about gear! We provide top-notch tackle and equipment from brands like Catch the Fever, Shimano, and more. If you prefer using your own gear, just let Captain Dan know before your trip!

You can catch trophy catfish year-round! The only exception is during the spawn (late April to early June) when we focus on eater-size fish or other species like flathead catfish, smallmouth bass, crappie, striper, and white perch.

Our boat is equiped with a full enclosure and heat so you can stay dry and warm during your trip. In the event of extreme weather, Captain Dan retains the right to cancel or reschedule a trip in order to maintain safety.

Cancellations & Refund Policy

When you fill out our booking form, you agree to pay for your trip. Deposits are non-refundable. The captain reserves the right to cancel/reschedule trips to keep the safety of guests in mind. We will work with you the best we can, but understand reserving a date prevents other guests from booking that date so please make sure there are no conflicts with the date you choose. Cancellations within 2 weeks of the trip date will result in full charge for the trip.

Yes, we run night fishing trips. Please reach out to Captain Dan to set up a trip.

Absolutley! We love helping new anglers and children fall in love with the sport of trophy fishing. There's nothing better than an ear to ear smile after catching a trophy catfish!

Virginia law requires all children ages 13 and under to wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved PFD the entire time they're on the water. Please check with us about sizing or plan to bring your own PFD for children.

Absolutely! We love chatting about advanced fishing tactics and patterns to help you master the waters.

To help preserve our fishery, we practice CPR (catch, photo, release) with all of our trophy fish. You are welcome to keep smaller fish as long as they fall within Virgina creel limits.

Our boat is packed with fun features! Enjoy LED lights, premium electronics, a Bluetooth stereo, karaoke machine, bimini top, full enclosure, and even a projector for movies, games, and more. Perfect for parties, cruises, and special events. Got an idea? Let's make it happen!
