You may want to bring plenty of food, drinks, sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, camera, film, and motion sickness medication. Food and drinks can be provided upon request at charter booking, but just be sure to let Capt. Michael with a 48-hour notice, so arrangements may be made.

-What time do I need to be at the boat?
You should be at the boat 20 min. before scheduled departure. For 6-8 hour trips, we like to leave between 6 and 7 am. 10 Hour Trips between 5 and 7 am, and for 2,3,&4 Hour Trips, we can leave at a mutually convenient time of day.

- What is included in the price of the boat?
All of the bait, tackle, rods, reels, licenses, and ice for the fish are included.

- How is the Mate paid?
Please remember that the mate works for tips. A really good mate can make all the difference in the trip, and Live Wire believes that a mate will work to make your trip all that you hope for. Some of the mate's duties will include, but are not limited to, catching live bait, cutting/preparing bait, teaching the client how to use the gear and equipment, teaching you "how to fish," and aiding Captain Michael with any duties that make for your trip on Live Wire exciting and pleasant. The mate will usually arrive an one hour before our scheduled departure time and may not leave until several hours after you leave cleaning the boat, gear, fish, etc. Live Wire guests are kindly suggested to tip 15-20% of the total fare paid, plus fish cleaning at $.30 per pound to the mate.

- How far offshore will we go during a trip?
Depending on the length of your trip, we may venture anywhere from 10 to 20 miles on a 4-6 hour fishing trip or 20 - 30 miles on an 8-10 hour trip.

- How deep is the water?
The water where we fish on a bottom trip is anywhere from 50-200 feet deep.

- When is the best time of year to go fishing?
Depending on what you would like to catch is the best answer to that question. Take a look at our fish chart to come to that conclusion yourself. There is no real "better time" of the year to fish than in the spring or the fall. Although those months may not be best for family outings, fishing tends to be best these times of year. And, as always, be sure to prepare for the weather.

- What kind of tackle will we use?
We strive to use only the highest quality dependable rods and reels available. We have a full array of tackle ranging from 30# spinning reels to Penn International 80 wides. For most of the bottom trips, we use the conventional Penn 4/0 and 6/0. We have over 15 combinations that we will select from. Take a look at our gear on our boat info page.

- Can I bring my own personal tackle?
Captain Michael allows personal equipment and tackle on the boat, keeping in mind that Live Wire and it's employees are not responsible for lost or damage tackle or equipment.
