Thanks guys for the ideas.
The reason I like the charter is because they supply bait, tackle, equipment and the kids are confined to a boat. Also on the charter we can grill lunch.
I really like the shore fishing idea and I agree that its how many you catch not what you catch. I think the last two years we caught 5 or 6 fish a trip, midday bobber fishing in june isn’t always the best bite. I think I probably have enough equipment to supply for those who don’t have rods and reels and I think I could find a spot or two on the Croix that would give the kids some action. I bet I could even find a few IDO members to tie lines and cook hot dogs. I might try to contact St. Croix Bluffs Regional park and see what they have to say. They have a beach, bathrooms, and plenty of shore space.
