Listen to the crew they have a wealth of knowledge. I recently got into fishing and the crew taught me so much. Made the experience even better and now I’m ready to go after even bigger fish.

Understand what fish you should expect to catch depends a lot on how far out and how long you are willing or able to go.

It was a little windy but the weather was beautiful. A warm afternoon led to choppy seas but it was nothing to be concerned about.

Bring a sweatshirt and some sandwiches. Bring an ice cooler to take your fish with you. Sunglasses, sunglass straps, sunblock and any type of hat are also recommended. You need good shoes that give you stability to reel in fish.

Dress in layers, started out quite chilly at 0600 and wished I had brought something other than cotton sweaters for myself and the kiddos. Otherwise, the trip was pretty carefree!

If you definitely want to catch fish and don't care about what type of fish, stay in the bay. Offshore deep big fishing is hit or miss. We missed this time, unfortunately.

It’s a good intro to open water fishing. The waves aren’t too high but there’s some rougher areas. Even if you’re not actively catching fish, the surroundings are beautiful to sight see.
