Captain Andy taught us Dramamine should be taken night before and hour before trip. Although inland we didn’t need it. But great tip I never knew! Bring cooler with snacks and drinks. Captain has cold water. Sunblock sunblock for kids. Don’t forget camera! Great experience. Be early by 15 minutes! There is a safety review and if you’re too late your canceled. We made it by 4min.

Wanted to spend a morning catching fish and everyone did. Fishing offshore in the Gulf was a great experience with the right boat and captain.

So Salty Fishing Charters

Book a great boat like I did. Reel Tight made a great day out of a tough one. Fish we wanted weren’t biting so we switched plans and had an exciting day catching jack Cavale. Dress warm if it’s chilly, or switch to an afternoon trip. We did have a lot of fun.
