Guiding you on this fishing charter is Captain Nathan Fondness. He will lead you to a variety of stunning local species, including Pike, Walleye, Musky, Chinook, Coho Salmon, as well as Brown, Lake, and Steelhead Trouts. Light tackle is exclusively used to optimize the challenge and excitement of the fight.
Captain Nathan will take you up to 15 miles offshore, so it is advisable to dress appropriately for the elements. There is no age restriction for children aboard I'd Rather Be Fishing Charters. Clients should also bring polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, and a waterproof camera. While the Rendezvous II is disabled accessible, customers are encouraged to inform the captain in advance to discuss specific arrangements.
