Take snacks and water. Only fish with the locals recommended because they are experienced and know where the fish are. If its early take a light wind breaker because it is a bit chilly in the morning.

11 hour trip...Disappointed only 2 small fish were caught for the price of the trip. Had hoped for a wonderful first trip for husband and 4 sons. We do realize it isn't the fault of the captain if the fish don't bit. A lot of money for no fish.

Be prepared! Thankfully, we had a calm day and all was well, but be prepared for those days that are not calm. If you've never been out before- you never know if you will get sea-sick. Bring Dramamine just in case!

Research and contact several charters and speak with them. I had a captain ask me why I didn't choose him and I explained why and he asked who I chose and when I told him he replied told me we would have a great time on Corbett's boat.

Get a sea sickness patch. Find the boat the day before so you can get there on time.

Use fishingbooker.com to schedule your trip. The reviews and the selection of trips really helps the process.

Check with the locals before booking a trip. The charter boats will not tell you if the fishing sucks.

Still recovering from Hurricane Florence (and Michael!) but fishing is great! Try the boats or fish from pier or surf!

Keep in mind it’s August. Hard fishing month with heat. Enjoy the experience
