*You would choose this option instead of rod/reel fishing. You can NOT do both at the same time and cannot do both in a 5 hour trip.
The gear and your treasures take up the whole boat!
If you want to fish and do magnet fishing on the same charter, you must book the COMBO trip.
You would MAGNET FISH for the first half and catfish for the second.
If you ONLY want to magnet fish, you would choose the afternoon trip and tell me at the time of booking that you specifically want to magnet fish.
I do not keep this gear in the boat or truck. You need to specify clearly at the time of booking so that I can load up all we need.
We cover as much and sometimes more water than a ROD/REEL charter, using more fuel. This high end magnet fishing gear is expensive, takes maintenance on my end and also runs the constant risk of getting broken or lost. Pricing reflects all of this and is no different than rod/reel fishing charters.
Trip change notice: In the event of muddy or higher water, know that you may not be able to magnet fish effectively. Our river conditions can change in a matter of days. If magnet fishing is specified at booking, know that I will always do my best to make happen. But if river conditions do not allow it to be effective, understand you will be switched to a rod/reel trip instead. Deposits are not returned and trips are not rescheduled if you cannot magnet fish, you will ROD/REEL fish instead.
We magnet fish and rod/reel fish rain or shine, dress accordingly!
*FLOODING, in the rare event of unsafe river flooding, your trip will be handled the same way any charter with me is handled. I would be in touch leading up to your trip to discuss your personal options. I would make that call based on many factors, such as water levels, debris. I've got many years experience and safety is my top priority.
All of the same boat rules apply to magnet fishing trips.
You've seen it on TikTok....you've seen it on YouTube. Now YOU can do it too! Magnet fishing! We've pulled some wild stuff out of the water over the years! What will you "catch?"
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
*Pacemakers and other sensitive electronics can be adversely affected by strong magnetic fields. If you wear a pacemaker, do not handle strong magnets.
* Large magnets have a very strong attractive force and improper handling could cause severe pinching/crushing injury. You will be given instructions before use and need to use extreme caution!
*You will wear provided ANSI cut resistant gloves when actively magnet fishing.
I don't skimp on any of my gear! Brute Magnetics is the leader in name and quality.
You can magnet fish blindly anywhere. But like real fishing, there are places that are better. Ledges where debris tends settle behind due to current breaks. Ramps where people lose things. Like pliers, knives...and popular fishing hot spots produce lost and snagged lures! And guess what? I know ALL of these spots!
It's a great way to enjoy a day on the river if "reel" fishing isn't your families thing. Or if you just want to try something new and exciting! We can go to all of the hot spots and go treasure hunting! And whatever you find is yours! Unless its a real gun of course. Then we have to turn it in to the police.
I supply, magnets, gloves, grappling hook, treasure collecting buckets...its a very cool experience!
