How to Prepare for Your Trip

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

The sun could be a major factor during a day on the water, the reflection of sunlight off the water tends to double the sun’s intensity compared to a day on land, sunglasses are essential and polarized lenses help to reduce glare from the water’s surface.

Rain gear is always a good idea to have just in case of a unexpected shower, soft soled shoes with good traction are very important, we encourage you to bring your camera and video equipment. The season will play a major role in what you should bring on your trip, spring time can be a little brisk and it is a good idea to bring extra layers during the cooler months.

Summer time should make sun screen a must have as well as some type of a hat, lightweight long sleeve shirts and pants are becoming popular forms of sun protection.

The rule of thumb is to plan for all the variables and pack accordingly; a small duffle bag should be perfect for each person. Two coolers are recommended, one usually left in your vehicle for the catch and the other to bring aboard with all your food and beverages.

We clean and bag your catch for you, we advise you on current size and catch limits, as well as conservation ethics, once you have reached your limit, we will of course keep fishing for catch and release fun. We offer taxidermy services to remember that fish of a lifetime; tell the Captain that you are interested in mounting your fish.
