Here are answers to some common questions about fishing, duck hunting, and planning a trip with POC Guides.
We offer morning and afternoon bay fishing charters, full-day boat trips, and guided wade fishing. You can choose the option that best fits your group and how you like to fish.
Our listed boat fishing trips include a five-hour morning option, a four-hour afternoon option, and an eight-hour full-day option. Wade fishing is available in five-hour and eight-hour formats.
Rods, reels, and tackle are included on our boat fishing charters. Wade fishing guests need to bring their own rods and appropriate wading equipment.
