I have decided that starting in the winter of 2009 I will no longer fish if the forecasted temps. are not suppose to rise above 35 degrees while we are on the water.
Reasons why....
Every single drop of water that comes in the boat while I am catching bait freezes. Causing very slippery and dangerous condition for you and me.
Live bait will not survive temps below 41 degrees and when the air temps are 35 degrees or less, the bait tank water gets too cold and bait dies.
Water lines at the cleaning station must be turned off to keep them from bursting. So I won't have water to clean your fish with.
If you want to do a lure only......catch and release only.....trip. We can still do that.
Or if you want to take your fish home with you so I don't have to clean them, that would work also.
If you have a trip scheduled and the forecast calls for 35 or less temps. Then you can re-schedule your trip and apply your deposit to another trip, or I will refund your deposit back to you. The same as I would under any other cancellation due to dangerous weather conditions.
Temps of 36 or greater, are fishable and we will fish in those conditions. No refunds for those temps.
