Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is not allowed.

When we fist booked the charter we did not know what to expect but your expectations were exceeded. Captain Spencer is very knowledgeable, kind and knows all the good fishing spots. We are definitely planning on going on another charter with him in the near future!

Spencer was so great! He was a very experienced fisherman and was very patient with our two young boys. We had a great time fishing and got to take 7 fish home to cook up which were delicious.
