The 6 hr am trip worked really well for us. The boat had a bathroom and AC in the cabin. Ask questions ahead of time so your expectations can become reality.

Book your trip with Shallowtails adventures, with Captain Cowart. Guaranteed to have a blast and catch some fish, trophy of harvest this captain can put you on them. 10 out of 5 stars

Make sure you bring plenty to drink, a hat and sunscreen. Also, if you sweat a lot, bring a golf type glove so you can grip the pole better to prevent it from slipping in your hand.

Fishing is great. Don't get angry if a storm blows up and cuts you short. That's mother nature. Bring plenty of water. Can be a hot day.

Hire a guide. Well worth it. You might wanna bring some motion sickness with you if it's rough waters

Weather is everything. With the rip current being at red flags they weren’t able to get to take the tripped they had planned.

We really enjoy inshore fishing. Lots of types of fish to catch without getting beat up by the big waves.

Throwing your hook in the water and trolling the bag is a great way to catch some stuff. We did a lot of trolling, and even more catching.

Expect to have a good time and some nice fish. Mind the weather and try to plan for a calm day if possible. The fishing is awesome

Don’t be scared to try something new. Never know what you might catch. Also don’t forget motion sickness medication.

Take the advice of your captain and do your best to do what he is telling you to do. Its not as easy as it looks!Proper technique makes a difference!

Take a long sleeve shirt for the trip out and back in because even if it’s sunny, the wind is chilly.

Sunscreen and plenty of snacks. An entire day on the ocean is draining. An amazing time, just exhausting.

Me andy family went and I'm newly disabled and they were worried. Justin took care of me and everyone else and we caught fish and had a great time!

Take the motion sickness medication before you go if you've never been on the open water. It's better for the first timers if you don't get sick

Just do it. It is such a great place to fish. January is not a great time to go however. Was cold and fish sluggish based on water temp.

Bring sunblock, snacks and a smile. Find a charter that takes care of their customers and is friendly.

Be prepared to fish where the weather permits. A good captain like captain Tim has a few tricks to ensure you catch fish

Book a 6 or 8 hour trip and bring your wet weather gear. You also might need your Dramamine if you’re not used to being out on the open water.

DON'T FORGET YOUR SUNSCREEN!! Drink lots of water and prepare for any rain/weather interruptions. Overall, highly recommend!

Be sure about your charters boat size and make sure that your departure time is to actually go fishing not run around for bait,ice, and fuel!

Nice bay fishing. Lots of choices when the bite is not on. Alternate jetties action if all else fails. A complex system of salt marsh to open water and everything in between.

Keep an eye on the weather conditions. Makes a big difference on whether you'll be "fishing or catching".

Read the reviews, call the captain and ask if there are options to do whatever your crew wants to do.

Go with Captain Darius for a great and enjoyable trip.
Dad and daughter want to go back again and do it again. Very informative about fishing and shared his wealth of knowledge on the fishing trip.

Be sure to bring nausea medicine if you aren’t sure whether you can handle a little boat rocking. ?
