Ask a lot of questions and get answers on the spot from people that do this day in and day out . Thats what the Captain and Mate are there for . And 99.9 % will be more than happy to share any tips that make fishing easier and more enjoyable. There are quite a few charter services on this site that do this and you will really profit from the experience .
Thanks Popeye...very good advice and there are a few charters here on Watauga Lake...
