What You Should Know About Booking A Fishing Excursion Taking a break from screens and calls has never been so complicated as in this day and age. From the minute people wake until they crawl back into their bed at night, young and old alike are overwhelmed with a lot of interruptions. Fishing expeditions are a frequently overlooked activity ideal for all ages to take a break from the tedious and dive into some hands-on fun. Going fishing is an excellent way to enjoy nature and maybe put a little something on the dinner table regardless if you are a seasoned pro or have yet to give fishing a try. Choosing the Right Type of Boat Tour Unless you live in the middle of the Mojave, chances are you don't have to plan a grand vacation to the Caribbean in order to log in some nautical miles. Fishing excursions can be found in lakes and rivers as well as the sea where charter boats can be rented on an hourly or a daily basis. More limited by shorter schedules, there are various excursions available for river, lake and bay tours however, you should be aware the variety of fish available in these locations may be somewhat limited. Ocean going ships, however, can stay out for several days at a time, based on the depths required for the type of game in the captain's sights. Most charter companies offer half-day jaunts for sea bass and rockfish, but require full-day or even overnight excursions to land billfish, which can be dozens of miles offshore. Schedules will vary from freshwater to salty seas, but time out on a boat will leave you feeling even keeled, whether you fish for trout or tuna. When to Go Be aware based on the time of year, the fish and the abundance of which they can be caught will vary. You as an example may need an entire weekend to get far enough offshore to find bluefish if you have your sights on fishing for tuna. Most charter companies have fishing seasons published on their website, and most also post their daily catch lists. These charts may help inform your decision on how long you prefer to stay at sea and what you want to catch. The Proper Gear Be sure to investigate what gear is needed, what is furnished with the charter and what is available on a for-rent basis after you have researched the body of water, the length of the trips and even what type of fish you would like to go fishing for. Many captains keep their fishing vessels stocked with rods, reels and tackle for the novice fisherman to rent for a small fee. Sometimes a full meal is in fact included, with alcoholic beverages available for sale. The best approach to a day on the water is wear layers of clothes to add or remove as needed, take along sunscreen and a wide brimmed hat in case the weather changes which is absolutely possible. Almost Ready to Go Regardless of where you fish, in fresh or salt water, you (and generally everyone in your party older than 16) may need a fishing license. This is often purchased online and in lots of hardware stores, bait and tackle shops, and even superstores. On the boat, many captains can sell licenses in either yearly or just day passes but it's a good idea to confirm this ahead of time to make sure. K-Seas.com
