What is a Headboat trip? The LJK Outdoors headboat style fishing trip is a "per person" BOTTOM FISHING (i.e. Spot, Perch, Croaker, etc.) trip that is open to the general public.  On the Headboat, YOU purchase your own bait (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 (nothing over 48qt will be allowed on the boat). This is our most economical fishing trip that is perfect for everyone!  Everyone is always welcomed, including but not limited to women, children, novice fisherman, and experienced fisherman!  BE SURE TO READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW!!!!!

***THE EARLIEST WE TAKE HEADBOAT RESERVATIONS IS THE  MONDAY PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED DATE***

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 the Headboat 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 our bills with your apology. 
  • If you make a reservation for more than just yourself, you are responsible to pay for their 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.
  • 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!!!!! 
    • Think cancelling is harmless?  In 2021, we lost approximately $4,148 in revenue solely due to cancellations.
• Please arrive at the boat at least  30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. If you are late, we WILL NOT WAIT for you!  If you arrive for the 7:00am trip at 7:00am, you will be on time to watch the boat leave you behind...no exceptions!!!!!!  Traffic and car accidents happen so please plan your travel accordingly. IF YOU MISS THE BOAT YOUR MONEY IS FORFEITED.

• 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 FASTER!
• 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.
• We will reserve headboat spots NO EARLIER than the MONDAY before the date of the scheduled trip.
• You MUST make a reservation and make immediate payment to go on the Headboat. We do not do cash payments for Headboat trips.
• You must PURCHASE YOUR OWN BAIT!  Bait is 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 are the best bait. Lug Worms and 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 love 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.
• ​ABSOLUTELY NO BANANAS (i.e. the fruit)!  THE POSSESSION OF BANANAS ONBOARD OUR VESSELS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED! If you bring them, I will throw them overboard...not joking.
• 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 6 people signed up for the headboat to sail. If we do not meet the minimum number of people, a refund or credit will be given.
• Dates are subject to change without notice.  Text ahead to confirm the date!  Text: (410) 629-9206

• The name of the boat is Rock Star.
• Tipping the first mate is NOT OPTIONAL (MINIMUM $12 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...$12 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 we!
• ​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.
