2.  What kind of rods, reels, or tackle will I need to Bring?   
Good News here folks, Lucky Charm Charters  supplies all the necessary equipment.  As I've said for many years all you'll need to bring is a good attitude.

3.  What if we don't catch any fish?   
That's not going to happen!!  If fishing is slow you'll be advised to save your dough.  

4.  What about toilet facilities?   
The 31 foot Sea Ray has a marine head (flushing toilet) in the bathroom with room to stand.

3.  What kind of boat do you use on Lake Michigan?   
The Lucky Charm is a 31 foot long Sea Ray Amberjack with a width of 11 foot 5 inches. This is a fishing machine equipped with modern electronics including radar, GPS, VHF radios, sonar, and five electric downriggers. This boat is powered by twin inboard gasoline engines totaling 660 horsepower.

Also, it can accommodate up to 6 guests comfortably. A recommended charter of four persons or less provides additional time on the rods and more personalized attention .  

6.  What about weather or water too rough to fish in? 
The weather in Michigan changes a lot so be prepared.  The rough water part is pretty simple to answer: "I don't like fishing in Seas that are to large to be comfortable in.  You as a guest are doing this to have fun, not because you have too!  If it's not going to be a great time for all, I'll reschedule your date or refund your deposit".

7.  O.K. now we've caught 'em who cleans the fish?  
We fillet fish as fast and good as anybody in Manistee County and there is no charge for skinning, filleting and bagging.  Plus, I supply the ice to keep the fish cold while aboard.  

8.  Does the Charter Operator supply food?   
No, you know what you like to eat so come with your own chow.  And keep in mind the cooler you bring can serve double duty and can help transport your cleaned fish back home.

9.  What should I bring along?   
Let's call these the "Don't Forgets" appropriate clothing for the time of the year (layered works best), hat, sunglasses, soft soled shoes for the lake, rain gear, food and drink in a cooler, Fishing License, sunscreen, cameras, camcorders, film, plenty of battery power for the big one that didn't get away.  So now that you're ready, let's go and experience some of the "Worlds Greatest Freshwater Fishing."  Also, you'll fish with confidence with one of the most experienced captains Michigan has to offer.

10.  What's the best time to take a charter?  
Well that depends on what kind of fish you're interested in catching.  I offer many kinds of specialty charters thru out the year and the vast majority are highly successful.  As I've always said the best time to go fishing is when you can!

11.  Safety Concerns?
The Lake Boat is State Inspected and all necessary U.S.C.G safety requirements are meet.  

12.   What about Motion Sickness?  
Take Dramamine or Scopolamine.  If your prone to Sea Sickness these precautions should take care of that problem out on the Lake.  

13.  Are Alcoholic Beverages Permitted? 
The Captains policy on is quite simple and  you can quote me on this; "I don't care what kind of alcohol you bring or how much you drink, but I will not under any circumstances tolerate any over intoxication.  If a level of concern develops the Charter is over!"  Illegal Drugs of any kind are not allowed under any circumstances.
