Deep sea fishing is definitely a lot of fun, but like all sports, it is not something everyone should undertake. But, if deep sea fishing is the type of experience you think you should add to your repertoire, you will definitively enjoy it tremendously. Can you imagine the thrill of pulling up a huge marlin or swordfish?
Before you decide to go, you should assess a few things. For one, if you become seasick fairly easily, deep sea fishing may not be the best thing for you. If you are unsure of how well you can handle the waves of the open water, try an inexpensive, short excursion first to test your sea legs. You could possibly charter a boat for an hour or two just to see how you handle being on the water.
Another thing for you to think about is that when you go deep sea fishing you won't be able to see land anywhere, so if this is something you don't think you can handle, you might want to think twice about going. Usually, ten miles or more away from the coastline will make you lose sight of the land. If you think this is going to be a problem, you might want to indulge a different type of fishing. The deep sea where the biggest fish can be caught will only be in a location that is far from the coastline.
You might also want to consider the length of time you will be exposed to the sun. You will be in direct sunlight that is also bouncing back at you off the glassy water surface. This could be putting you at risk for sunburn. You won't be able to escape the heat. It is true that most charter boats have cabins in which you can find shelter from the sun, however, you can't fish from inside. If you are particularly fair skinned or prone to sunburns and heat stroke, you might want to avoid the risk. If you decide to go in spite of the risk, a strong SPF sunblock and plenty of fluids are essential. Charters will usually provide water for you as well, but take your own also.
If you are prepared, deep sea fishing can be the thrill of a lifetime. Don't be put off by the special considerations that must be taken into account. Make sure you are prepared, and then get on board and have an absolute blast on your trip!
