Tips For Organizing The Greatest Ever Virginia Beach Fishing Charter Trip

By Manny Wilson


Planning any trip ahead of time is the best way, especially if you trip is going to be a Virginia Beach fishing charter trip. There are going to be a few things you are going to have to remember to do and to take on your trip for you to be able to have the ultimate worry free fishing trip.

Do you already know what kind of fish you would like to try and catch on your trip? You may not have a particular favorite but there is a reason that you will need to know what fish re in season when you plan to take your trip out on the water.

Keep in mind that if the charter boat you are thinking of using doesn't provide fishing gear in their package, you will need to know for sure what kind of fish you are going to be fishing for. Knowing the kind of fish you will be trying to catch will determine what kind of rod and reel you will need to bring.

The next step in planning your charter fishing trip is to get a total price and pay your captain a deposit on your trip dates so he will be assured that you are in earnest about your plans to be there. A lot of people will make these kinds of plans then leave the charter boat waiting when they could have arranged for someone else to take that spot. This will cause that captain to lose money. If you learn that you won't be able to keep your scheduled trip date, be sure to call and cancel so someone else can take your place. This is just common courtesy on your part.

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.

You will want your Virginia Beach fishing charter trip to best it can be and you will want everything to go along as smoothly as possible. The way to ensure this is to take your time in planning ahead for every detail, no matter if it a minor one.
