What To Bring
In hopes of making your day with us the most comfortable, we recommend you bring the following:
Weather on our bay can be fickle, so layering clothing is highly recommended. If you think there is a chance you’ll feel woozy or queasy on your trip we recommend taking a regular formula Dramamine the night before and a non-drowsy formula Dramamine the morning of your trip. We have found this particular “cocktail” to work perfectly. An ice chest should be brought and left in your vehicle for your catch to go home with you. You can purchase ice at the local tackle shop, Bayside Marine. Small ice chests are recommended for your lunch and drinks.

Equipment & Fish Preparation
Aboard the Taylor-Gene, you find all rods, reels, tackle, and bait are included in the price of your charter. Upon return to the dock, your fish is filleted, packaged, and made ready to be enhanced with your culinary expertise. Like many service industries, tipping is customary and should have a direct reflection on the quality of service you receive during your charter. You will not be discouraged from bringing along your “lucky” lure or favorite rod and reel. However, you will find the Taylor-Gene is fully-equipped with the latest fishing gear along with tackle to handle any fishery we may encounter.
