Come prepared for the sun. Highly recommend UV shirts and hats and don’t forget the sunscreen.

Find a good captain, like Reinier Perez, that knows the area and knows where the fish are.

It can be good for first time. Low gunnels on the boat. Safety issue with children plus best if can cast a rod.

Make sure to bring plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. Wear you sun glasses. And most importantly wear your sun screen!

If it's your first time, take Dramamine the night before and an hour before your trip. Worked well for multiple boat trips with varying conditions.

The weather was great. Not too hot! It was a little windy but Captain John knew how to get into the quiet spots out of the wind. I really like the end of April fishing here.

There was a cold front that came through the area and made the fishing tough but that is expected for fishing

Be conservative about the accessories you bring because you’re going to be spending most of your time fishing.

Take the motion sickness pills 1 hour before. It won't hurt if you don't need it, but once you feel sick, it is too late.

Be ready for the chance of cooler temps and higher winds, but if you are from up north it will still probably feel like summer to you!
