FAQs

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Do I need a license?

    You do not. Anyone that steps foot on the High Octane Fishing vessel is covered under the captain’s license.

  • Who cleans our catch?

    If you choose to keep fish the captain will fillet and bag up your catch for you.

  • What should I bring?

    Sunglasses, Hat, Drinks, Snacks, Camera, Sunblock (No spray!) Weather Appropriate Clothing

  • What’s provided?

    Ice, Tackle, Rods, Bait, Fishing License, Fish Cleaning. If fishing and you’d like to bring your own gear/tackle then absolutely feel free to bring it. Just let us know prior.

  • What shouldn’t I bring?

    Illegal Drugs, GPS Devices, Glass Bottles , Spray Sunblock, or Pets.

  • I get seasick. Should I be concerned?

    If you have experienced it in the past we recommend taking medication a few day prior to the trip so it’s in your system. 

  • What if I have large group that wants to go?

    This happens from time to time especially with scalloping trips.  We have can take up to 6 people but if you have more than that just give us a call and we’ll track down another captain to get everyone on the water.

  • What if it rains? Lightning?

    If it’s forecasted to pour down rain most of the day our trip will likely be canceled or rescheduled.  In the summer we do get storms that pop up from time to time.  If the weather/wind forecast is questionable the captain will call ahead to discuss.


    Lightning is another story.  Once again mainly in the summer.  If the radar is showing lots of lightening in the area the captain may have to delay the start of our trip or cancel.  Safety is our #1 concern.

    "Went fishing with High Octane today and had a great time! Caught a bunch of fish and a nice variety. Captain Nick was fantastic with my 11-year old son and let him measure all of the fish and ride up in the tower with him. Nick took us to a bunch of spots and was generous with his time. Thanks for helping me make some great memories with my Dad and son! I would definitely recommend High Octane Fishing and can't wait to go again!"
