What's Included
The charter prices include the cost of gasoline, bait, ice, and fishing tackle. Capt. James will also provide all of the fishing rods and reels (unless you prefer to use your own), USCG-approved life jackets, and all other fishing-related equipment.
What You Need to Bring
You'll need to bring your own snacks, drinks, fishing licenses (for everyone 17 and up), sunscreen, and a good attitude!
The water we fish will be saltwater, so you'll need to buy an "all-water" or "saltwater" fishing license. (Purchase online through Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.) One-day licenses are super cheap and they will cover "all-water."
Dress for the outdoors! Please be sure to bring extra layers during the colder months due to the extreme windchill factor when we are making way. During the hotter months, you'll want to make sure everyone has a hat to wear and plenty of sunscreen. (Please put on the sunscreen and wash hands before getting on the boat... It'll kill the bait!)
Not allowed: Glass containers/bottles, Alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, etc.
