Why is the boat named Southern Girl?
Southern- warm, sweet, welcoming. Boats are always feminine - Southern Girl.
Is there a toilet ?
No. We keep a five gallon bucket on board for emergencies. The launch ramps usually have porta potis available that you can use before departure.
Is there protection from the weather ?
Southern Girl is a center console. She’s designed for hardcore fishing. There‘s a canvas “t top” that offers some shade, however be prepared to be exposed to the day‘s weather. Bring one more "layer" than you think you'll need.
Weather Policy
We obsess over the weather. I’ll be in contact the night before your trip and let you know what to expect. Your comfort and safety is paramount. I’ve fished the bay enough to know that a windy day is no fun. Anything over 15 knots makes for a tough day, and we strongly encourage you to reschedule. I reserve the right to cancel due to weather and any payments or deposits will be immediately refunded.
