Things to do on GOLD COAST CHARTER BOAT FISHING

 Now that you've booked your gold coast charter boat fishing, it's time to find out what all you need to take with you on your trip. We provide:

•              A well-maintained deep-sea fishing gold coast boat.

•              Fishing tackle.

•              Plenty of bait for each trip.

That means you don't have to go out and buy any of those things when planning on a deep sea day fishing trips with us.

Clothing: Wear protective clothing against sunlight, rain, or wind if necessary. We recommend that you wear bright colored shirts like red, orange, blue, green, and yellow for photographic purposes. (White is fine, but in bright sunshine, you don't look good in your photos. (Black or grey shirts don't make good photos at all, so don't expect them to turn out well.) It's okay to wear her bathing suit if You want it. You won't get wet on our deep sea fishing charters gold coast boat because we have an enclosed living room with air conditioning. The rain shower may be the only way to get soaked.

Hats and Shoes - You can wear whatever shoes you like or even go barefoot. Just don't wear your dirty cowboy boots or lawn mowing shoes; we'll hose them down before you board. However, we urge that you wear pointed-toe shoes or sandals that are properly fastened to your feet for safety reasons. Tennis shoes, high heels, hat (if bald) and any clothing that protects your skin from the sun Flip-flops or shower shoes are NOT the safest option and will often stick to the wet platform, and when you step on, the centerpiece between the toes is often snapped or broken. Shoes that have a toe and strap for healing work best. It's OK to walk around barefoot, but be careful not to trip on fish fins or a stray hook. I always recommend that people wear shoes that cover their toes at the very least, but they are not needed.

Refrigerator, Food, Drinks, Snacks: A "clean" small personal refrigerator 48 quarts or less, food, beverages (your favorite adult beverage, "beers" must be in cans). Your cooler should be clean, and you haven't been riding in the back of your farm or work truck with grease or mud all over the place. Bring just a more relaxed, please. We have limited space onboard, and typically a 48-quart cooler is large enough to store your food and beverages. Some people remove the cooler from the back of their work truck that is dirty, oily, greasy, or muddy. Bring a clean cooler or wash it.

Please do not bring any alcoholic beverages; this is not an alcohol-free cruise. Drunk people are a pain to be around, and we don't enjoy being around them. Coolers for beer and wine are OK. Only bring cans or plastic bottles if possible.

Bring WATER or FLUIDS for the entire family. It's hot in the summer and early fall, and if you don't drink enough water, you'll become dehydrated.

Basics: (optional) Hand towel to clean your hands. (after baiting your hook). Our sailor does an excellent job helping you bait your turn not to get too dirty. If you are baiting your hooks, clean your hands after baiting your hook. In this way, you will not stain oily or fishy baits on the handles of our rods. However, it dries sticky and is very difficult to clean.

Sunscreen (to be applied as directed) Be sure to apply RUB ON sunscreen before going deep sea fishing. Avoid putting AEROSOL spray-on sunscreen because it spreads all over the deck and creates a slip hazard when sprayed. Also, if you spray it inside our cabin, it will spill and ruin our carpet. Would you please stick with the old-fashioned rubbing lotion and avoid sprays?

Sunglasses are helpful because there is a lot of light outside. However, I will ask you to remove your sunglasses during photo shoots because your photos will look better when seeing your eyes.

Medicines for motion sickness: Some people get the prescribed patch and cut it in half to share one with another member of the group.

WHAT SHOULD BE LEFT BEHIND

Due to federal and state fisheries regulations, catch limits, and seasons, many of the fish you will catch cannot be captured and must be released. Please take as many fish as you need for a few meals, but we don't rush you and go from one species to another, trying to catch a limit. We don't hurry from one location to the next. We take you fishing and try to keep your rod bent as much as possible.

Spray-on sunscreen - the spray falls onto the deck and creates a slip hazard. If you must wear sunscreen, do so before getting on the boat. We recommend using lotions that are not aerosols and that have been around for a million years. Also, ensure to wash your hands before baiting your hook because sunscreen can prevent fish from biting your bait.
