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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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