What are the things you look for before selecting a river walleye fishing charter?

Perhaps the best thing you can do when you are looking for any type of fishing charter, is to be certain that the charter you choose is certified by the US Coast Guard. Check with local Better Business Bureaus to ascertain that this particular charter service does not have a bunch of negative reports filed against them. When you are booking a charter, you may not have the option to visually check out the boat and equipment before you book the charter. You can, and should, ask for references. You need to know that the boat is safe, the equipment is good, and the crew is experienced and can handle your needs during the charter trip. Find out what others have to say about the charters you are considering, before you book your trip. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Find out ahead of time exactly where your charter will go, find out what, if any, equipment will be provided by the charter service. Ask about quality of equipment. Ask about amenities provided. Ask about age and experience level requirements. Ask about food. Ask about fish storage and preparation. Following any verbal conversations with the charter service, verify everything you have been told by email, stating exactly what was promised in any verbal conversation. Once you have, in email, the specifics, you have a written contract that can be defended in a court of law if you are unfairly taken advantage of. Finally, you should always check to be sure that the charter you choose has a money back guarantee, so if the charter fails to uphold his end of the agreement, you will still have the assurance that you are covered, should some act of God or substandard equipment or practices cause your trip to be delayed or unfulfilled.
