Frequently asked Questions

If you’re prone to motion sickness—or even unsure—it’s highly recommended that you take or bring motion sickness medication before your trip. Being prepared will help ensure you enjoy your day on the water without discomfort. It’s always better to be safe than sorry, especially when the fish are biting!

While no fishing trip comes with a guarantee, our team is highly experienced and confident in our ability to find fish.That said, weather, sea conditions, and seasonal patterns can affect the bite.

Some species—like dolphin (mahi-mahi), wahoo, marlin, flounder, and sheepshead—are seasonal, while others can be caught year-round. Although rare, there are days when the fish just aren’t biting.

Rest assured, Captain Tim will do everything possible to give you a successful, memorable, and fun day on the water.

Weather plays a big role when fishing in the Gulf of America. Trips may be postponed or canceled at the captain’s discretion if conditions are unsafe or unfavorable. Your safety is always our top priority, and we will never head out if the weather poses a risk.

If offshore conditions aren't ideal, we may still be able to shift the trip to more protected inshore waters, where there are often great opportunities to land a solid catch.

No need to worry about a fishing license—we’ve got you covered!

Fishing licenses, bait, tackle, and drinking water are all provided for up to 6 passengers on each trip. Just bring your sense of adventure—we’ll handle the rest!

Planning to eat, snack, or enjoy beverages during your trip? Please bring any food or drinks (other than water) from home. We also recommend bringing your own cooler to transport your food, beverages, and catch after we return to port.

Coolers are provided on the boat for use during the trip, so feel free to leave your personal cooler in your vehicle until we return.

To stay comfortable on the water, don’t forget to bring:

• Sunscreen
• Sunglasses
• A hat
• Light, protective clothing

At the end of the day, Captain Tim will clean and fillet your fish, then bag the fillets in zip-loc bags for you to take home. Please keep in mind that cleaning a full box of fish can sometimes take over an hour—thank you for your patience!
