When flying, weight is a prime consideration. We allow a maximum limit of 65 lbs. per person. This includes all personal gear and beverages. Plan your trip carefully: Overload flights are expensive and uncertain! Contact our office two weeks before departure if you require assistance with beverages, minnows, etc

Year after year we see people over pack for their fishing trip. More needless stuff means more weight in the aircraft. Once saw a 40lb tackle box. Crazy right?! Below are items we recommend for you and your group to pack.

Communication and cooperation with the group helps to keep the weight within the limits. The more items shared by the group like toothpaste, shaving cream, tackle, spare rods and reels, the lower the individual gear weight will be. This does take some planning and it can be done. Groups that consistently come within the weight limit have made the pre-trip planning an integral aspect of their fishing trip.

Please limit rod cases to 4" in diameter. Those sewer pipes are just too big!Combine as many rods in one case to save space. Remove reels from rods so they fit better into rod cases.

If you need a CPAP breathing machine, please bring your own dry cell battery (NO wet cell please) and inverter or call in advance and we may be able to provide something for you for your CPAP
