Important Information & Frequently Asked Questions

 

What should I bring?
    You should bring your lunch, drinks and plenty of sunscreen.  We recommend Smart Shield sunscreen but your choice is fine.  Also a lightweight shirt sunglasses, and a hat would be desirable.

What about credit card charges?
    We are happy to take credit cards, unfortunately we do have to
add a small convienence fee on a credit card charge.

 

What about seasickness?
    Since we fish in shallow water usually we don't have anyone to get seasick.  If you are VERY sensitive we recommend a good night sleep, no alcohol the night before, and light meals for dinner and breakfast. There are several over the counter medications or wristbands. Ask you local pharmacist. If these make you drowsy, ask your doctor about prescription motion sickness medication.

 

What about a tip?
    If you think the Captain was very efficient and the service was good ,  10% - 15%  of the total is very normal.
 


What if our party is larger than 4-5 people?

    We have availability to put approx. 100 fishermen on the water at any given time with advance notice.  Large parties are no problem.
 


Do I need to bring any tackle or bait?

    No. All are provided for you. Unless you want to wade fish, then you do need your rod and reel and wading equipment.


Do you provide fish cleaning?

   
Yes. We clean the fish for you once we return to the dock. Your choice: boneless fillets, Redfish "half-shells" (ready for the pit) Just don't forget a cooler to take them home in!

 

Is a deposit required?
    Yes.  A credit card # is required on all trips, the deposit is $200.

 

What if I need to cancel my trip?
    Our cancellation policy is below.  In the past, we at Redfish Charters have been very fair for our clients.

We hope that you understand this new situation and we hope to serve you for many years to come.

Remember  you have to reschedule your fishing trip within 30 days for this deposit to apply.

3. All cancellations done in less than 14 days, will be charged the deposit amount of $200 per boat.  If billed to your credit card a 3% processing fee will also be added, and a new deposit is required for the next fishing trip.
