What NOT to bring

---

Heuver, PHD (Professional Hunting Dog)... is THE Bird Hunting AND Fishing Companion Dog of the Company.  

A Bird Vacuum (Hoover) but a German Wirehaired Pointer and why we named him Heuver.  AKG Registered Mason Creek High Stuttin Heuver.

He is well seasoned at 12 years young and enjoys being on the water. Most of the time he will join us on our Fishing Trip, with your 

permission, and depending on the weather conditions.

Heuver allows you to Fish, Fight and Land your Catch, but WILL demand your attention when you are not actively fishing... unless He chooses to take a nap .

We respect allergies or issues that could make your trip uncomfortable to have him aboard.

Please advise us in advance for us to make appropriate arrangements.

Communications by coventional means (Cell Service) in the U.P.!!!!!

Most carriers often DO NOT have coverage in many locations.  Depending on what service provider you have, these include but are not limited to Eagle River, Mi, Eagle Harbor, Copper Harbor, Lac La Belle, Gay and most Campgrounds. Traveling along stretches of M26, M28, M203 and well as US Highways 2, 41, 45, and 141 have several "dead zones". However you may still be able to make calls whenever you are at a Hot Spot or have access to internet and WI-Fi.  Nearly all accommodations and campgrounds have internet and Wi-Fi. When connected to a Wi-Fi, you can make and receive calls anywhere in the world. Nearly all phones have a Wi-Fi calling feature found in Settings. Do a Search "how to WiFi call on... (android or iphone or your specific make and model of your phone)". 

Do your research in advance for locations of Hotspots. Don't forget to turn off Wi-Fi calling when you have regular cell service.

We PROVIDE: 

Lures, Baits, Quality Rods and Reels, Bottled Water, Fish Cleaning available...  and FUN!!!

Suggest that YOU BRING:  

Fishing License Electronic copy is OK, Hat or Cap, Polarized Sunglasses, Sunscreen lotion (no sprays please) & Medications.  If you are prone to motion sickness, the best way to prevent is to take a tablet just before going to bed and another just before leaving for the boat ramp.

Appropriate attire... including Rain Gear in a duffle or backpack bag>>> (You can always take it off... BUT can't put it on if you don't have it!!!).          A CHARGER CORD for YOUR  Devices.

FOOD:  A Lunch & Snacks (especially for  Kids) and other drinks  in a small cooler.  Beverages with Alcohol OK...  but excess is NOT  tolerated and will result in a shortened trip with no refund.

Another cooler & ICE left in your vehicle if planning to take your catch. 

We provide Type 1 Personal Floatation Devices (PFD) as required the USCG for 4 Adult and 2 children up to 90 Lbs. They are excellent for emergencies but not comfortable to wear while fishing.  If you  wish to wear a PFD during the trip you you are welcome to bring your own. A must have for young children.     Michigan Law requires all children under 6 years of age to wear a USCG–approved Type I or II PFD  when riding on the open deck of any vessel while underway.      

We will send info, to re-confirm your fishing charter trip details, via text or email.  If you do not receive a text or email, call us... We  also PREFER to SPEAK with You 3 days before and re-connect in the early evening before the trip ESPECIALLY if WEATHER may be a factor. 

We can discuss an alternate launch site and/or area to avoid a cancellation. See the section ABOVE   "Cell Service in the U.P." 

Please CONSIDER adding a TIP for good service and fish cleaning... not required... but truly appreciated.
