    FAQs

    This afternoon fishing charter is available from June through September 30.

    Use a metered parking space, not a slip-renter space. Parking requires a $13 day pass, available at the kiosk or tackle shop; the tackle shop accepts cash only.

    Wear layered clothing and closed-toe shoes. Rubber boots are useful if you have them; flip-flops and other open-toe shoes are not recommended.
