How To Prepare For A Day Of Boat Fishing

To ensure a successful day on the water, it’s important to pack plenty of food and drinks.  You should stock up particularly on hydrating fluids since you may find yourself a bit more thirsty than before. Drinking plenty of water is essential on the boat due to the sun’s exposure, and dehydration may cause seasickness. It’s better to have more water than less. Bringing additional equipment such as water toys or fishing rods can enhance your experience, and provide some additional fun. Make sure to wear rubber-soled sneakers to maintain stability on the boat. Opt for non-marking or light-soled shoes to avoid leaving tracks on the deck. Layered clothing is recommended to provide flexibility for all weather and choose materials that dry quickly, offer warmth, and protect against the wind.

Sunscreen and polarized sunglasses are essential to shield yourself from the elements. Polarized glasses can also assist in fishing techniques and are overall a great choice. If you are prone to motion sickness, it is advisable to bring seasickness medication. For storage, bring a backpack, zip-lock bags for valuables, a small cooler for food and drinks, and a larger cooler for fish if you plan to keep your catch. For some individuals, spending an entire day on the water is a dream. However, for others, seasickness or a lack of desire to commit to a full day may be an issue. The amount of time spent onboard can influence the type, location, and quantity of fish that can be caught. It may not be realistic to expect to catch larger species through deep dropping if you only have a few hours.

Although it may sound trivial, determining how involved you want to be in the fishing trip is crucial. Would you prefer to catch your own bait, set your hook, and reel in your catch? Alternatively, would you rather leisurely cruise the waters and only take action when a fish bites? As a first-time charter angler, it is also important to decide if there are any specific techniques you wish to try. We are always here to answer your questions! Call (604)537-3099.
