What is customary for tips?

What happens if it rains?

Bad weather must be determined at departure time. If there is a light drizzle, it could be considered a soft day. If the rain is coming down sideways, it's not likely that the boats will venture out.

Where will we be fishing?

How many fish can we keep?

The department of Natural Resources has set specific limits for the quantity of fish allowed for each type of fish, and the specific season. Read the latest regulations from the Maryland DNR for the latest regulations.
