What Does Miss Susie Charters Do to Ensure a Successful Trip?

Our main goal at Miss Susie Charters is to ensure that our clients have an enjoyable, fun-filled, and exciting experience each time they charter with us. We ensure this by providing professional charters run by captains who love to fish and know how to treat clients.
We provide rods/reels, bait, tackle, and ice, and the fish box for your catch. You are more than welcome to bring your lucky rod and reel.
No fishing licenses are required.

What Can My Group Do to Ensure a Successful Trip?

Confirm with Capt. Greg which departure port will be used. The boat will be where the fish are, make sure you arrive where the boat is!
Departure times will vary depending on the season, how early daylight arrives and how much the “bite” requires an early departure (Sometimes the Early Bird does get the worm!) Always confirm departing time and always make sure your entire crew arrives early enough to all ON TIME DEPARTURE! If you have a few crew members who are always late, please tell them departure is 30 or 60 minutes before to ensure we won’t miss the bite.
Prime dates go fast, call as early as possible to ensure you can get a booking when you want to go and when the fishing is red hot.
If someone in your group commonly gets seasick have them take Dramamine or Bonine the night before the charter and again one hour before leaving the dock. This ensures the medicine is in your bloodstream before hitting the waves. Often, taking these drugs just before leaving the dock does next to nothing.

What Should We Bring?

Bring yourself and your crew on time (we don’t want to miss the bite)
Sunglasses
Sunblock
Hat
Food and beverages with a cooler and ICE to hold them
Camera or at least a charged cell phone
Adequate clothing (you can always take layers off)
Rain gear (just in case)
Cooler to carry home your catch
