• Guests who will be fishing need a fishing license, as required (nursing homes may cover this requirement by contacting the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for a nursing home permit). We promote catch and release fishing, however, you may keep the fish. Fish cleaning is the guest's responsibility. We do not cast fish, only allow bobber or drop line fishing.
• All guests need to provide their own transportation to/from the marina in Bayport, MN. They need to arrive 1/2 hour prior to the scheduled time, so they can be assisted onto the boat. All guests need to complete the Guest Boarding Pass-Release of Liability & Photo Approval. We request groups complete the form prior to arrival. Individuals can sign the form when they arrive.
