Bring a valid NY fishing license
You must have a New York saltwater fishing license; keep it on hand and visible for the guide.
Manage seasickness proactively
Take anti‑nausea meds before boarding and choose a mid‑day trip if you're prone to motion sensitivity.
Layer for changing conditions
Tides, spray, and wind make mornings cooler—pack a windproof layer and waterproof shoes.
Respect catch rules
Follow size and bag limits; Bluefin Sound Charters encourages catch‑and‑release for trophy fish.
Spinning or baitcasting rod (7–9ft)
Long rods and beefy reels help you work jigs, poppers, and live bait in rips and structure.
Personal flotation device (PFD)
Bring a comfortable life jacket if you prefer your own; the charter will provide required safety gear.
Sunscreen and polarized sunglasses
