The month of February is gone, and we move one month closer to when the ice will leave the marinas. As the weather gets warmer, the phones are ringing more and the emails are starting to fill the Inbox.

Even though right now many people are starting to plan their summer vacations, it's a good idea to verify if your charter of choice is still available for the vacation dates you are selecting. If you are in the processes of planning that special family vacation and not aware of some of the unique places of interest along the (Manitowoc, Brown, and Door county) lakeshore, drop us an email. We can let you know of some local events (and area attractions), and while you are planning for things to do, we can help you schedule a family fishing trip. From feedback (from past trips), a family fishing trip can easily be one of those special events of your family vacation that everyone talks about for weeks, and moths later.

Though gas prices are on the rise, there can never be a price placed on the value of doing family-oriented events. Children grow up too fast, and time on the water offers many memories that will never be forgotten.

In roughly 45 days, we could be chasing football Browns along the shore.
