Passenger Information: What to bring, what's included?

Taking a charter is often a very exciting experience! There are many things you can do to make the most out of your fishing trip. 

The sun is a major factor during a day of fishing! Many people do not realize the dangers of the sun until it is too late! The reflection of sunlight off the water and decks of most boats tends to double the sun's intensity compared to a day on land. Sunscreen is very important as well as some type of hat. Sunglasses are essential and polarized lenses help to reduce glare from the water's surface. Lightweight long-sleeve shirts and pants are becoming popular forms of sun protection. 

If you are even slightly susceptible to sea sickness, we suggest that you consider some sort of remedy (there is nothing worse than being sick on the ocean). For most people, over-the-counter medications, such as Dramamine, seems to work fine. A popular trick is to take a dose prior to bedtime the night before, followed by an additional dose before departure (effectiveness is greatly reduced if you wait until symptoms appear). As with any medications, please consult a physician first! Other remedies include ginger ale and pressure bands worn on the wrist. 

If you plan to document your trip, don't forget to bring your camera and video equipment. We have dry storage on the boat; however, large zip lock bags make easy water proofing for the ride. 

Lightweight rain gear is handy for afternoon showers or when a cool breeze arises. Footwear is a must on a boat. Although it feels great to go barefoot, it is very dangerous in a situation filled with hooks, gaffs and sharp teeth. Shoes with good traction are essential and black rubber soles are taboo. Black soles leave scuff marks all over the boat which are very hard to remove.

Bring whatever food and beverages you prefer (coolers and ice will be provided). Alcohol in moderation is allowed but for safety reasons, intoxication will terminate the fishing. 

Any legal fish you catch are yours. We advise you on current size and catch limits as well as conservation ethics. Once you have reached your limit of a certain species, tell us if you want to keep fishing for catch and release fun or move on to another species. 
Your trip will take you well offshore in the Gulf where we catch grouper, snapper, big sharks, cobia, kingfish, Spanish mackerel and barracuda, etc.

Whether a first timer or experienced angler, your trip will be an experience to remember. Young anglers are welcome- in fact families are encouraged and we provide instruction so you can make this a great family outing.

As a charter client no fishing license is required. You are welcome to bring a favorite rod; however, we furnish all tackle, bait and ice.
