Be prepared to fish where the weather permits. A good captain like captain Tim has a few tricks to ensure you catch fish

Book a 6 or 8 hour trip and bring your wet weather gear. You also might need your Dramamine if you’re not used to being out on the open water.

Be sure about your charters boat size and make sure that your departure time is to actually go fishing not run around for bait,ice, and fuel!

Nice bay fishing. Lots of choices when the bite is not on. Alternate jetties action if all else fails. A complex system of salt marsh to open water and everything in between.

Keep an eye on the weather conditions. Makes a big difference on whether you'll be "fishing or catching".

Read the reviews, call the captain and ask if there are options to do whatever your crew wants to do.

Just because you don't catch what you booked enjoy the bottom fishing its great catching two fish at a time.

Check the season for what fish you can catch; were one day early for trigger fish and hooked a lot of them.

Be sure to bring nausea medicine if you aren’t sure whether you can handle a little boat rocking. ?

Bring a sweatshirt in April. Get there early. We were, and we were the only ones going on the charter so we got to leave a little early and get a little extra time out fishing

Sunblock, hat, and an extra jacket just in case the wind picks up. Go with the Captains choice, since they know what are biting and where to go.

I recommend you buy live bait. We used squid for bottom fishing but you need live bait to catch the King Mackerel and Bonita

Plan on at least 10 hours for your booking, it takes a long time to get out far enough to catch the big boys.

Ask about how license work. Red snapper was open for Federally licensed boats, but not state licensed boats. Did not know that.

Bring a light jacket and go when the sun is out. The opportunity to catch more fish would increase while the sun is out

Decide on type of fish you would like to fish for and then decide if you would like to go fishing at the flats or out deep sea fishing.

Be prepared for a cool start and possibly some rough water. Trigger fish are the best thing to shoot but the pogies are good too.
