What You’ll Need & Other Tips:
All trips depart from Orange Beach Marina. Find it HERE
Sun Protection: Sunscreen, hats, polarized sunglasses, long-sleeved shirts
Drinks. Food and Snacks – I provide a cooler with ice. (Helpful Hint: When ordering subs or sandwiches the night before the trip, have them made “dry” with condiments, oil, etc. on the side. This will keep your sandwiches from getting soggy overnight)
Camera and video camera that can get wet
If you prefer to fish with your own tackle, we encourage you to bring your favorite rods aboard.
Please be sure to NOT wear any dark-soled shoes or sneakers as this tends to mark up the deck. (We want to keep her nice and clean for your next trip.)
Please be sure to be on-time (early would be even better)
