What is a Headboat trip? The LJK Outdoors headboat style fishing trip is an open boat paid per person BOTTOM FISHING (i.e. Spot, Perch, Croaker, etc.) trip that is open for anyone(individual or small group) to join!  On the Headboat, YOU provide your own bait (buy from us or elsewhere) and YOU provide your own rod and tackle (or rent from us).  You must also bring your own SMALL cooler or bucket for your catch. This is our most economical fishing trip that is perfect for everyone!  All are welcomed, including but not limited to children (minimum 4 years old), new/inexperienced fisherman, and experienced fisherman!  BE SURE TO READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW PRIOR TO BUYING YOUR TICKET!!!

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT EVERY HEADBOAT CUSTOMER READS THE FOLLOWING TERMS & CONDITIONS PRIOR TO RESERVING! 

• The ROCK STAR can legally carry 28 passengers, however we limit our Headboat trips to 16 passengers to give every angler adequate space to fish!  NO CROWDED FISHING HERE!
• Cancellations:
  • If you CANCEL your reservation within (48) hours of the trip, fail to show up, or you arrive after the boat leaves, you will be charged the FULL amount of the reserved ticket(s) price REGARDLESS OF THE REASON FOR CANCELLATION!  We understand that sometimes things happen beyond your control and we are sympathetic to that. HOWEVER, boats are expensive and we cannot pay bills with your apology. 
  • If you make a reservation for more than just yourself, you are responsible to pay for the ticket(s) for each person you reserved for, regardless of whether or not they show up!
  • Weather cancellations are left solely to the discretion of the captain. We fish rain or shine. PLEASE do not contact the captain about the weather...IF the captain deems the weather unsafe HE will notify YOU that the trip is cancelled. 
  • If you cancel within 48 hours of your trip:
    • You WILL NOT be given a refund, raincheck, or credit regardless of the reason for cancelling!!!!! 
    • If you cancel PRIOR to 48 hours before the trip, you will receive a credit of the ticket amount to use on a future service with LJK Outdoors. Credits are useable for one year from the original purchase date. Once you purchase a ticket you will not be given a refund unless LJK Outdoors has to cancel the trip for some reason.
• Please arrive at the boat at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. If you are late, we WILL NOT WAIT!  If you arrive for the 7:00am trip at 7:00am, you will be on time to watch the boat leave without you on it...no exceptions!!!  If you are standing on the dock or are in the parking lot at 7:00am instead of on the boat, we will leave you there.   Traffic and car accidents happen so please plan your travel accordingly. Do not bother calling to let the captain know you will be there at 7:01am for a trip scheduled at 7:00am. Be on the boat prior to departure time because we are not going to wait for you. IF YOU MISS THE BOAT YOUR MONEY IS FORFEITED. You will NOT be given a credit or refund of any type...NO EXCEPTIONS! 
• The age limit for the headboat is 4 years old.  We cannot take anyone under the age of 4 per USCG regulations. The liability is the same, therefore the price is the SAME for ALL ages.
• Please TEXT to check Headboat availability.  Text: (410) 629-9206. DUE TO LIMITED CELL SERVICE AND ABILITY TO HEAR WHILE ON THE BOAT, TEXT MESSAGING IS PREFERRED!  Please don't text me and ask me to call you...that defeats the purpose of a text message. You may also email Captain Luke with questions at luke@ljkoutdoors.com. Please allow up to (72) hours for a response to emails...TEXT MESSAGE IS THE FASTEST!
• Reservations for the Headboat are required (Full payment is due immediately at the time of reservation). NO EXCEPTIONS! To make payment, we will email you an invoice with a secure pay link attached to it. Text (410) 629-9206 to reserve.
• You MUST make a reservation and make immediate payment to go on the Headboat. We do not do cash payments for Headboat trips. No, we don't accept Cash App as a form of payment.
• You must PURCHASE YOUR OWN BAIT!  Bloodworm FishBites are available for purchase onboard while supplies lasts!  ABSOLUTELY NO NIGHTCRAWLER WORMS on the boat! They DO NOT work good for bait in salt water and they are messy. If you bring them, you will not be allowed to use them. Bloodworms and Lug Worms are the best bait. Bloodworm flavored fishbites are the second best bait choice.
• Rod rentals are available for $6 per person. You may bring your own rod and tackle. NO SURF RODS! Rods over 8 feet in length will NOT be allowed onboard! 
• NO BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS!! Everyone loves music but not everyone loves YOUR music!!! Please use headphones or earbuds if you want to listen to your own music.
• You may smoke tobacco products on the deck of the boat. However, please be respectful of other customers.  NO SMOKING in the cabin or head. If you smoke, DO NOT place smoking devices on or put them out on any part of the boat. Doing so will damage the paint and/or fiberglass. If you do, you will be charged a minimum of $600 for the repairs.  Ashtrays are available if you need one.
• The head (toilet) on our boat is NOT like a household toilet. It will only handle human waste. DO NOT place anything other than natural human waste in the toilet.  Other foreign objects such as toilet paper, tampons, food wrappers, paper towels, condoms, plastic, rubber, etc. must be placed in the trash can next to the toilet. If you damage the toilet you will be billed for repairs or replacement.
• NO MORE than ONE cooler per person.  For space reasons, MAX size is 48qt. Preserve space on the boat...please do not bring an excessive amount of gear.
• We must get a MINIMUM of 8 people signed up for the headboat to sail. If we do not meet the minimum number of people we will cancel the headboat trip and a refund or credit will be issued.
• Headboat trips are 5 hours in duration, dock to dock (NOT 5 hours of fishing time).
• We are located at Beacon Marina next to the Quality Inn at "Dock A."  Address is 255 Lore Rd., Solomons, Md.  Directions and a map can be obtained on the Contact page.
• The name of the boat is Rock Star.
• Tipping the first mate is NOT OPTIONAL. Industry standard is 20% ($14 per person).  Tipping the mate is expected even if you do not ask for his help during the trip.  Ignoring the mate is no excuse to stiff him on a tip!  Our first mate will be courteous and work VERY hard!  Lets be honest...$14 is really not much to ask?!  Failing to tip the mate SHALL result in you not being allowed back on the Headboat in the future...not joking. I bet you don't go to work for free and neither do our first mates!
• ​The consumption of alcohol is allowed but DRUNKS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!  If you get drunk we are required per the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations maritime law, to bring you back to the dock and notify law enforcement as well as U.S. Coast Guard (We don't write the laws, we just follow them).  Also, your money shall not be refunded for the fishing trip.  We recommend that you DO NOT drink due to the inherent safety risks associated with the consumption of alcohol.  However, if you feel the need to drink we expect that you do so responsibly. Drunks WILL NOT be tolerated. If you get belligerent or pose a safety risk to yourself, the crew or passengers, WE WILL PHYSICALLY DETAIN/RESTRAIN YOU for the safety of everyone onboard and we will contact law enforcement. Safety is our top priority.
• ZERO TOLERANCE FOR NARCOTICS/DRUGS!  That includes any and all Cannabis or Marijuana (medical or otherwise) products!  If you posses OR use narcotics/drugs while aboard our vessels, we will contact law enforcement and return to the dock immediately.  You WILL NOT be given a refund and we will aid in the prosecution. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!  WE ARE NOT  "420" FRIENDLY ON THE ROCK STAR...feel free contact your congressman if you would like to change the law!!!! 
• ABSOLUTELY NO BANANAS (i.e. the fruit)!  THE POSSESSION OF BANANAS ONBOARD OUR VESSELS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED! Bananas are extremely bad luck on boats. If you bring them, I will throw them overboard...not joking.
