Make sure boat has proper electronica equipment, depth finder and fishfinder. Make it clear ahead of time what type of fishing bait you want to use Make sure Katherine gets ahead of time if necessary

We did a close to shore trip with light tackle. No idea about further offshore. Fished mostly with shrimp, a few casts with artificial lures.

be prepared with a captain who knows the area. it's still a little cool in March, but fish can be found.

Wear lots of sunscreen and try to cover up, especially if you're going to be out on the water for a long period of time. Chapstick is your friend.

Bring a lightweight jacket and pick a good captain. Season isn’t open to many types of fish. We had to throw many back that was out of season. Mangroves we’re plentiful. Couple red grouper.

Excellent fishing out of Carrabelle at this time if you are looking for red snapper and/or gag grouper.

If you're fishing in Carrabelle in June, plan for hot sunny days. Be sure to pack plenty of water to rehydrate and lots of sunscreen.
