The Experience
Before You Go
Start early for prime fishing conditions
Morning trips often yield the best chances for landing trophy fish as the sea is calmer and fish are more active.
Wear non-slip footwear
The boat deck can get wet and slippery, so sturdy shoes with good grip are crucial for safety.
Bring sun protection
UV rays intensify offshore—use a high SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself.
Stay hydrated
Carry water and electrolyte drinks to avoid dehydration during your time in the sun and salt air.
