Fishing Game: questions & answers
Do I need fishing experience?
No. Beginners are welcome — the crew handles the gear and teaches you the technique on the boat.
Half day or full day?
Both are possible. A half day is perfect for a first try; a full day on a private boat gives you more time in the deep water where the big fish are.
Can I keep or eat the fish I catch?
Yes. Tell us before the trip and we will arrange for your catch to be grilled for lunch.
