Plan Ahead Of Time For A Fantastic V.A. Beach Fishing Charter Trip

By Frank Williams


Have you ever noticed that your best vacations and trips are the ones that you started planning way ahead of time? Those trips that you start packing away things for as you have more time to think. Planning a month or so ahead of time for a your Virginia Beach fishing charter trip is the best way to go so it won't be one of those trips where you don't get halfway there only to start remembering everything that you forget to bring.

Do you have a particular kind of fish that is your favorite to fish for? Are you familiar with what kinds of fish a Virginia Beach fishing charter trip would take you to? You will need to discuss this sort of information with the captain of your charter boat.

Some charter fishing trips have package deals that will include everything you will need minus your clothes. Talk to the captain of your choice of charter boat and see just exactly what will be provided for you. In this way, you won't be taking along unnecessary items. Always write down everything that you will have to remember to take with you.

Once you have determined the dates you would like to go and the captain has agreed, you then need to get the down payment in his hands as soon as possible so that he will know that you are sincere about keeping those dates. If you figure out later that you aren't going to be able to go, you need to call the captain and let him know so he can open up those dates for someone else. There are a lot of people waiting to on a Virginia Beach fishing charter trip that the captain probably has on a waiting list for cancellations.

Fishing rods, tackle, and bait are the most important items you will need to have on your Virginia Beach fishing charter trip. You will want to make absolutely sure the captain doesn't include any of these things before you pack them up to take with you onto the boat. If the case is that you will be taking your own fishing gear, talk to the captain about what kind of fish he thinks you will catch. This will help you in determining what kind of rod and reels to take. You should take a variety of test line and a couple of different rods as well.

Your food for the tip may be something that is provided by the captain. If not, then you need to put all your munchies and drinks into a cooler and take everything you are going to eat and drink like that. Some charter trips will allow a few alcoholic beverages to be drank while fishing. Talk to your captain about whether or not alcohol is allowed on is boat.

Always remember to wear the right clothes. You will need a jacket even during the summer months because the mornings on the water are chilly. You don't need to wear shoes that could be slippery when thy get wet and end up causing you to fall. Tennis shoes with a good tread or deck shoes are the best choices. Bring a change of clothes in case you get dirty. You may end up smelling like fish.

The best Virginia Beach fishing charter trip is the one that is planned out ahead of time. Once you get on the boat, you won't be thinking of anything except about catching those fish. If you think that you may get seasick, then you should make sure to bring along some Dramamine for motion sickness. Next thing is just getting out there and have a blast.
