Fishing Trip Planning

Baggage Weight Limits - Planning Tips

Baggage limit is 80 lbs per person

To stay within your limits, weigh your bag / tackle box before you leave using a bathroom scale, or have a weigh in party the night before you leave. Don't bring a ton of lead in your tackle box than you wont use.

Avoid canned goods where possible and opt for frozen or dried instead.

Don't load coolers with ice before you leave, we have ice and cold freezers and fridges when you get here.

Pop and beer is available at the camp, if you let us know ahead of time at no extra transport cost to you.

For easier handling, baggage should be packed no heavier than 40 lbs. per bag, carton or cooler.

Recommendations 40 lbs food per person, 20 pounds of clothing, and 20 pounds of fishing gear.
