All jet boat outings are full day trips and will include the necessary tackle, beverages and lunch.

Dual Species Float Trips
A combination float gives anglers of all skill levels the excitement of pursuing both trout and striped bass in a single day.

A full day trip includes all necessary tackle, lunch and beverages as well as fish cleaning.
1 or 2 person — $600 (plus processing fees)
