Boats

Nautic Star Bay Boat
For a party ranging from 1-5 persons on Otsego Lake you can expect to be aboard the pride of our fleet, a new 2005 Nautic Star 1900 bay boat. This 19 foot vessel is a very stable deep-V boat with safety rails to guarantee you a safe ride. It is powered by a 150HP Yamaha four stroke outboard motor that is quiet, efficient and reliable. The center console gives everyone adequate room to move around the boat especially when a big fish is on!

Carolina Skiff
For a party of up to seven people you can fish from our 19' Carolina Skiff.  This boat has a center console and lots of room to fish.  This boat is outfitted with a 115HP 4 stroke Yamaha engine and a Minn-Kota trolling motor so the fish will never hear you coming. This boat is perfect for the whole family. There is a bimini top to provide shade for passengers on sunny days. Even non-fishermen might like to come along and spend the day aboard reading in the shade or taking in the sites.

Tackle and Electronics

Trolling Motors and Fish Finders - Reel Men use top quality Minn-Kota trolling motors and Lowrance fish finders. All required US Coast Guard safety equipment is also aboard.

Fishing Tackle -Each angler will be provided with a spinning rod and reel set-up. Spinning reels are top of the line Shimano reels attached to our Cabelas ProGuide or Tourney Trail rods. Each reel is spooled with special line and leader to help you feel that fish bite.
