There might be winds and waves, so people who are prone to seasickness can prepare some anti-nausea medicine.

We fished in Carmel. The meeting place was in Marina and once meeting and chatting we decided Carmel was where we wanted to fish. Lauren let us choose.

Winds were moderately strong. We were on a smaller boat so the ride often felt choppy. But this was expected (I had been in touch with Captain Sean leading up to the trip), we never felt unsafe, and in fact, the kids felt the thrill of being on a fast boat in slightly stronger winds.

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.

Definitely wear warm clothes in the morning. It was like 55° and windy. So wear layers so you can shed throughout your trip definitely worth it. We’ve seen whales and seals great experience.

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.

They did say that you might catch more fish when the bay is a bit warmer but we were still very happy with everything we caught and would still come in June! Make sure to bundle up the mornings are chilly on the water but we were prepared and it didn’t bother our kids!
