Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a deposit?
We understand that sometimes plans change, which is why we do not require a deposit when booking a trip with Second Chance Fishing. However, we strongly encourage our customers to provide at least 72 hours’ notice if they need to cancel their trip. This helps us to plan our schedule and be sure we can accommodate others who may be interested in booking.
No Catch, No Pay?
We want you to have an enjoyable and successful experience on the water. That’s why we guarantee that if we don’t catch any fish during your trip, you won’t be charged. We believe that fishing is about more than just catching fish—it’s about enjoying the great outdoors and making memories with your friends and family. So, even if the fish aren’t biting, we’ll still do everything we can to make sure you have a great day on the boat.
