Dress in layers
Sea weather changes quickly—pack breathable baselayers, a warm mid-layer and a waterproof outer shell to stay comfortable all day.

Follow catch guidance
Listen to the crew about size, season and protected species rules and prepare to release fish carefully to minimize harm.

Bring a waterproof case or dry bag for cameras and phones—the best shots happen during hauls and approaches to rocky islets.
