We caught some fish but only one keeper. It did rain pretty hard for the first hour that we were supposed to be fishing so that may have played a factor in the lack of bites we saw.

Make sure to bring sunscreen or some variation of a long sleeve shirt to wear— we were only out for 4 hours and got FRIED (our own faults, not the captains or company’s). Also, if legally you can— bring alcohol. Helps a lot with the sea sickness… like A LOT. Being on the water in a lake versus the Gulf is a totally different beast— so just bring it. Sunglasses are also a good idea, since the sun is beating off the water it can make it hard to see.

Bring plenty of water and continously apply sunscreen. Wear ultra lightweight and breathable clothing. I'd wear a long sleeve shirt, pants, hat, and polarized sunglasses. Remember that there's no shade or bathroom on smaller inshore boats.

A little different experience, you can’t set the hook like you used to, due to the rounded hooks (circle hooks) that are mandated in this area. Could be a little frustrating. Still a lot of fun though.
