Frequently asked questions
1What should I wear?
Clothing is imperative to having a fun and successful experience. In the colder months, fall through winter and spring, layering with non cotton clothing will allow you to sweat if need be. Polyester is your friend during these times. Waterproof jackets and overall bibs will also keep the elements out. Summer time sun screen is a must. Shorts and short sleeves are acceptable but light polyester long sleeves are great to allow your body to breathe while blocking the sun out. A baseball or beanie depending on the weather temperature is imperative to keep the sun off your face and keep your head warm.
2What can I bring on your vessel?
A small cooler for the days catch is acceptable. You may pack water and snacks that can be munched on throughout the day. Alcohol such as beer is acceptable but no liquor. The captain does not want his clients getting intoxicated where it becomes a safety issue. The captain has the right to stop his clients from drinking if they become intoxicated. No drugs and not excluding marijuana are allowed on the captain’s vessel.
3Can we keep what we catch?
Each species of fish has a certain length they have to be in order to possess them. Depending on the species of fish, you are allowed to keep a legal amount. Harvesting a fish is dependent on what the captain recommends fishing for. Captain Goretti does not harvest smallmouth bass and steelhead are highly recommended for catch and release only. Perch and walleye make better table fare.
4I have a young child, are children welcome?
Yes, children are encouraged to go fishing. Parents must keep in mind that they are making an invest and children are not always geared for a full days worth of fishing. A half day trip is a great alternative for children. Children must wear life jackets that are provided by the captain.
