Ask questions to the captain. For my son we asked if he had a life jacket and he provided one and he had a huge ice chest on board for any you need to keep cool. Separate from the fish which was nice and sanitary.

Plenty of options between the bay and the gulf. We hit the Snapper during the spawn which made fishing challenging but we still had plenty of action.

Just like fishing on the lake you're gonna have good days and bad days. That's just life, if you don't catch anything don't blame your captain. We happened to luck out and catch a good amount of fish and a few things we couldn't keep. It was amazing to catch different types of saltwater spices.

The bay is extremely shallow. I was surprised to find that we were only fishing in two to three feet of water. Spent a lot of time looking for schools of fish.
