THE TACTICS

Lighter tackle in shallower water

This is an inshore, lighter‑tackle trip targeting shallower-water fishing — a format that favors accessible gear and shorter casts rather than long offshore runs.

THE FORMAT

Six‑hour, small‑group charter

The trip is a six‑hour outing that accommodates small groups; the operation sets limits on party size and additional charges apply for larger groups.

THE PREP

Bring sun and seasickness basics

Pack sun protection, a towel, camera and a rain jacket; motion‑sickness pills are specifically recommended with dosing the night before and the morning of the trip.

What the day feels like
