Boats

Nautic Star Bay Boat
For a party ranging from 1 to 5 persons on Otsego Lake you can expect to be aboard the pride of our fleet, a 2005 Nautic Star 1900 bay boat. This 20 foot vessel is a very stable deep-V boat with safety rails to guarantee you a safe ride. It is powered by a 150HP Yamaha four stroke outboard motor that is quiet, efficient and reliable. The center console gives everyone adequate room to move around the boat especially when a big fish is on!

Carolina Skiff
For a party of up to six people on Canadarago Lake you will fish from our new 2008 20' Carolina Skiff.  This boat has a center console and lots of room to fish. The Carolina Skiff is outfitted with a 115HP 4 stroke Yamaha engine and a Minn-Kota trolling motor so the fish will never hear you coming. This boat is perfect for the whole family. There is a bimini top to provide shade for passengers on sunny days. Even non-fishermen might like to come along and spend the day aboard reading in the shade or taking in the sites.

Tackle and Electronics

Trolling Motors and Fish Finders - Reel Men use top quality Minn-Kota trolling motors, Lowrance fish finders, and Garmin GPS units. All required US Coast Guard safety equipment is also aboard.

Fishing Tackle - Each angler will be provided with a quality spinning rod and reel set-up. Spinning reels are top of the line Shakespeare, Shimano, or Okuma reels attached to our Cabelas ProGuide or Tourney Trail rods. Each reel is spooled with special line and leader to help you see and feel that fish bite.
