We caught a break with the weather and it was overcast and breezy. If it had been clear and sunny I think it would have been very hot. Plan for hot; the boat has water but I would bring plenty of liquids.

A local captain is a must. Fish here are not like the Gulf. Fish are picky and the captain must have multiple techniques to catch them.

Proper sunscreen, hats, proper shirts, and maybe a snack everything was awesome on our trip and be prepared to bring Fish home if you so choose like a cooler or something along those lines! Fillet knife won’t hurt either if you want to fillet your fish afterwards.

It’s hot! Plan ahead with uv shirts or bring sunscreen. You can bring your own water or snacks but they have some for sale on the boat too at reasonable prices overall. Also, plan on tipping the crew - cash or Venmo. They earn it!

Bring sun protection and water! Make the most of your time! These guys are professionals, but they don't command the fish to bite so don't give up keep on fishing. I caught my black tip shark with literally 5-10 minutes left before we headed back in!!

April and May is the best fishing typically. But, if you have the right captain you can usually get on some fish anytime of the year.

Look for a charter that describes what you want to do well from the get go and trust your captain to deliver it. Don’t pick a charter and then try to change it to something else.

Just have to expect the weather to not always be flat and sunny. Be ready for plans to change as the weather in Florida can change quickly. Captain Jim does a great job of watching the weather and letting you know what to expect.
