My suggestion would be to start out simple, become familiar with the water body and I hire a captain and good luck. The best advice would be contact the fishingbooker.com folks, hopefully you will get lucky with an old timer like Captain Tony (same age as me by the way? This day will go down as a special memory between my grandson and I canโ€™t thank you enough

Be sure and prepare for the sun exposure for the entire time you have chartered the boat for. Hats, long sleeves and high SPF sunblock is vital.

Fishing was as expected in November. Not the best, but still caught 20-30 fish even with high wind and cold water.

Be open to the advice of your charter captain. They should have serious expertise and knowledge in getting you the most out of your charter investment. If they donโ€™t, hire Afishianado!

If you fish in the summer, the best time is early morning. We started around 7:30am and if possible as soon as the sun rose. It gets really hot.

We had a lot of reeled in fish and hits but can't speak to how it compares to other months. The captain did a good job putting us where we wanted to be.

Relax, be open minded and just have fun. If you listen to exactly what the captain tells you, you will get a catch almost every time. If you donโ€™t catch anything at least enjoy the experience. Happy fishing!

We were a couple of weeks early from a water temperature perspective for catching some of the larger species, but the captain knew we were looking to catch and release for fun, so he put us in perfect position to have constant action all day with the right locations, bait and setup. Communication in advance is important so you know what will likely be running during your trip in March because of the changeover in water temperature.

Take sun cream and a hat as the sun can still burn. No head on board so use the bathroom before hand. Listen to the skipper as her knows what heโ€™s doing.
