Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Below are some of the guidance as detailed by a long time guide...some I find kinda funny or strange.

I did take the liberty of removing many of the bullet points but I did not edit any of them.


  Items to bring

• If you don’t have rods, use ours @ $10 each. That pays for the line you will lose. You must pay for loss or damage and can range from $150 to $500.


• Sun Screen—and if you are taking prescription medicine, advise your guide.

• Hook removal tool such as Handyman or plyers.

• Good attitude because a grumpy client may be sent home without refund.

• USCG approved Life Jacket—especially if you are very large or small


What to Expect

• 100% effort from our guides

• How well you do on your day depends upon the weather, your skill level and the attitude of the fish.

• The dangers on this water exceed most others. You must obey the guide.


On The Water

• When the boat is running—set in your seat with your feet firmly on the floor—looking straight ahead. Do not move around and do not talk.

• Please do not stand on the decks. Anglers must be on the floor of the boat.

• Please do not cast over other’s line. Stay in your “zone.”

• Please fish from the same side of the boat. Your guide will advise you.

• Do not clutter the boat. This is a safety factor.

• I insist that my guides fish. Watch him for technique. He will never “hog” a hole.

• Do not “relieve yourself” without advising the guide. He may have to move to a safer area to allow that.

This is not meant to be all-inclusive, but rather a “heads up” to aid your adventure.
