Frequently Asked Questions About Dream Catchers Fishing

Is there a bathroom on the flats boats?

No, there is not. We generally handle the potty factor any number of ways depending on the person and how bad they need to go. Usually its the wives who have the issues. It all depends on how out-doorsy they like to get. I can usually stop to use a beach somewhere or they can get in the water at a safe locale. Guys, we have been blessed with outward reaching plumbing that allows us to not have issues here.
Another alternative would be for you to take out our big 28 ft boat for a back country fishing trip that has a fully enclosed head on board. Although this boat is not for flats fishing. see my boats

Is there a bathroom on the Bay Boats?

We have one with a bathroom and the other without. Please make it clear when booking your day with us that you would like a bathroom. On the "Intuition" there is.. on the "Reef Grief" there is not.

Is There a bathroom on the Pro line 28

Yes.

Should I bring my own fishing gear

You can bring anything you like to carry, however, I have some of the top gear available for both spin and fly fishing that I am sure you will be very happy with. If you do decide to bring your own gear please make sure that I know about it so I can make room. Also it may be helpful if you call me to ask what kind of lines and whatnots to put on your rod and reel. My Equipment page.

Ok, so what should we bring?

Yourself, what you like to eat, sunscreen lotion (not spray please) a good pair of polarized sunglasses, a hat and maybe a camera.  Remember, If you are flats fishing with me or any other guide we have only a little room in our boats. Please do not move in. We will only be on the water a maximum of 8 hours.

What Is supplied on the trips ?

Rods, reels, bait, tackle, flies, leaders, lines, plugs, artificial, live bait, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi, Bottled water (PLENTY), Ice and a jacket or two for my clients. My Equipment page.

What if I forget my camera?

If you are fishing with me Capt Steven, I carry a Nikon D 300 in my boat at all times. I take shots of you and your fish then send them to you via email for no additional charge. Fishing with someone else? Don't forget your camera.

How many fish will I catch

Sounds funny huh? I get this question all the time. It depends on what we fish for, when we fish for it, how well you do fishing for it, and how many fish we see for the day of fishing that you have set forth to see and catch fish...... In other words.. I have no idea..

It says on my confirmation to call my Capt. the night before the trip, Why?

We fish with a lot of people here. I may have emailed back and forth to you but that may have been one of 20 emails that day. When it comes to your trip, call me or any captain the night before so we can go over the details like weather, gear you will need, special requests, and such. It also lets us know that you are really here and ready to go. This program has been working very well for years with out failure. See our booking policies here.

What if it is bad weather?

It is our discretion to go or not to go. The winds are bad to us when it is a small craft advisory. This means that the winds are over 25 knots and gusty. Probably not the nicest day on the water. As for rain and such, it will be a mutual decision based on radar forecast. Rule of thumb, we generally do not go out on bad days.

Will the weather be good on our trip?

When I can answer that I will no longer be guiding.........

What happens to my deposit if I get cancelled due to weather?

If I or any Captain that we book cancels due to weather your are refunded all but a 5 dollars booking fee the following Wednesday of that week. 
If you decide to cancel because you do not like the weather and the captain says the weather was fine there is no refund. (this has never happened).

What happens to my deposit if I cancel inside the 7 day cancellation policy?

We realize things come up last minute, unfortunately trips don't come last minute for us. If we are able to reschedule that day you will receive a refund less 5 dollars. If rescheduling is not done then there is no refund of your deposit.

What if I do not show or call or anything for my trip?

We will hunt you down like the dog you are!
Seriously though, according  to our booking confirmation that you signed the day you booked your trip and faxed back to my office. You will be billed according to the rules of that document in FULL for the trip you have stood up. Understand that we only have so many days to sell our boats, Standing up one of our trips means someone else could not have gone with us. Not to mention that it is just plain rude!

How do I cancel last minute?

The only way to not get charged in full is to call us 48 hours prior to your charter. 1-888-362-3474. Leave a message telling us what the deal is. You will not get a refund for your deposit but you will not get billed in full. Review our booking policies here.
