Summer Catch Up Post

Your tip of the lodges that send you out in one of their boats would probably be the best option for a bucket list trip someday... Especially if they take you out with a guide to teach you the local tricks the first day... May have to start making notes and getting ready for a someday trip.. Thanks Jeff

The lodge I went to had collage kids that worked the fleet of boats, filling with fuel, making sure you had the rods and bait for your intended species you were targeting, helped getting the boats back into the slips and took care of the days catch. The one that was assigned to the boat we had took us out to make sure we knew how to operate the boat and the electronics and did show us the different areas that people fished for different species along with the boundaries of where we were allowed to go, this was by no means very detailed. I was with a group of friends that fish this lodge every year so they had better details. The owner and his wife were also helpful about “spots”. Having a good understanding of how to use the gps, waypoints and tracks on the units so that your confidence in them would give you a much higher comfort level especially if the fog rolls in. It surprises me the number of fisherman I run across that don’t use the maps and waypoint side of their units even on the lakes,  the ocean is not the place to start your introduction to that side of the electronics.
