Bring sunscreen and water. Plan your trip during a time that the tide is coming in or out.

Don’t expect too much on a 2 hour tour. Be realistic, and know you will still have a great time.

Pay a little money for a charter because the water is shallow and·lots of sandbars.

Book a private charter. It’s a much better experience than a big boat with lots of people.

Make reservations at restaurant day before you fish so you have a spot at a table same night!
