What to bring on Charter
Taking a charter is often a very exciting experience. Many factors, such as weather conditions and the appetite of the fish, are beyond our control. There are many things, however, that you can do to make the most out of any fishing trip.  Lightweight rain gear is handy for afternoon showers or when a cool breeze arises. Footwear is also important on a boat. Do not go barefoot! Though it feels great, going barefoot is very dangerous in a situation filled with hooks, gaffs and sharp teeth. 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 deck of most boats tends to double the sun¹s 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 water¹s surface, enabling better sight-fishing. If you book an offshore charter and you have concerns about seasickness, there are many preventive medicines available such as Dramamine. Most of these medicines do not work unless taken some time before the charter. If you plan on documenting your trip, don’t forget your camera. Food and drinks are your responsibility, and you can bring anything you like (with the exception of glass because it can be dangerous if you drop it).  Lots of water is important to prevent dehydration.
