Before coming aboard, it may be required to buy a local fishing license for every adult (16+) in your group. Lake permits are included. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.
A few items to bring include sunglasses, sunblock, and a hat. Water will be available for you. BYO alcohol is allowed in moderation, as are your own soft drinks. No glass bottles, please. There will be some light snacks provided on board.
