Preparing for Your First Guided Tour
Charter fishing for the first time has its challenges and rewards. With that in mind, here are the best tips to prepare you for your first guided fish tour:
Communication: Whether you book a trout fishing charter or a tarpon fishing charter, our captain Zach Jones will be present during your tour. Get to know your guide before even stepping on the boat and ensure you are both on the same page. Things you should discuss with your fishing charter guide are what you want out of your trip, the policies of the company & what’s included in your trip, departure time, and directions to the boat. Once you have all of this information, you have completed the first step in preparing for your first guided tour.
Packing: Once you’ve gotten all the information you need, the next step is to pack your essentials. Rubber soled shoes or sneakers are a crucial essential on a fishing charter boat because they will keep you firm & steady. Next, you should wear or pack layers of clothing. Depending on the season and weather, you may want a sweatshirt or jacket on your trip. Always go for materials that dry out easily but keep you warm at the same time. Other crucial items to pack include: polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, some form of a first aid kit, a small cooler with food & drinks, and a large cooler for the fish you catch!
Good Night’s Sleep: This tip may be overlooked but it’s crucial to get a good night’s rest before you embark on your first fishing charter trip. Most fishing trips start in the early morning. If this is the case, a good night’s sleep will ensure you are ready to take on whatever comes your way.
Checklist: The day of your fishing charter trip has finally come. To ensure you have everything packed that you need, make a checklist the night before and check it in the morning before you leave.
Getting on the Boat: Once you are on the charter, take some time to adjust to the nature of the boat and the water. Try to keep your balance at all times.
Following all of these tips before embarking on your first guided fishing charter trip should help to prepare you. If you have any questions or need clarification during your trip, our captain is there to assist you. To schedule your ideal fishing charter trip, contact us today!
