Adventure Tips
Dress in layers and bring sun protection
Coastal weather can shift rapidly; wear moisture-wicking layers and don’t forget sunscreen and a hat to protect against sun and wind.
Bring a cooler for your catch
To keep your fish fresh for the trip home, pack a sturdy cooler and ice if you plan to keep your catch.
Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip
The boat deck can be slippery and rugged; closed-toe shoes help prevent injuries and improve stability.

A 4.5-hour trip means you’ll want water and light food to maintain energy during fishing.
