It’s the start of the rainy season so plan appropriately. Highly recommend good gear to manage both sun and rain. After a very successful day 1, weather changed our day 2 plans and we struggled to get on the fish.

Check with your captain on the best time to fish based on what you want to catch. We had booked the morning, but then moved to the afternoon because the fishing was expected to be better.

We took our own suspender life vests, long sleeve SPF fishing shirts AND pants, plus hoodies and sunscreen. You will do fine with shorts and a wide brim hat.

Remember that roosters and other nightly sought after fish are very season dependent and daily condition dependent. At the end of the day it’s fishing, have to go out and try but if you don’t get exactly what you want, that’s why it’s fishing.
