Book earlier trips then later. The afternoon sun will torch you if you book afternoon. Long sleeves, hat, sun block, and water a good idea

Typically in fishing, the fish become more active in the spring as the days grow longer, which triggers the spawn, and the water warms which makes the fish more active (fish are cold-blooded). The captain indicated that the spring/summer months are the perfect time for this trip; however, I would recommend reaching out if you have any concerns with the timing of your trip. I would also recommend morning trips as it gets HOT during the day.

Make sure you time your trip with the tide schedule, incoming high tide is the best. Outgoing low tide will be slow for catching.

We had a slightly windy afternoon fishing because a storm had just come through that morning but I would suspect that the waters are normally very calm given the island masses throughout the water area. We booked an inland/shore fishing trip v. a deep sea trip since some of us are prone to motion sickness. We did take Bonine motion sickness medicine beforehand to be on the safe side but even with the wind and light chop the motion in the boat wasnโ€™t bad at all.

Be receptive of what the captain advises and understand, he wants you to catch fish more than you do.

I would recommend Ryan with Edgewood Charters. It was a relaxing, shorter trip option just off the shore. It is a wonderful way to see the city from the water, see some dolphins and catch some fish!

It's inshore fishing, not deep sea offshore, but the fishing can be excellent and still catch some great fish, just be clear what you want to catch so if expecting something different then what you catch you will not be disappointed. Just message the captain questions, wet lines fishing is very quick to reply and very accommodating to every need and request
