Fishing tackle and gear, captain and crew, iced coolers for fish storage, and assistance landing fish into the boat are included in the charter fees. Due to the hot sun, be prepared with a long-sleeved shirt, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. Trips go onto the deep waters where ocean swells are regular.

Blue Crabbing
There is no license required to go out and collect blue crabs. Regulations permit up to 50 blue crabs per day, per person. The crabs must be at least 5 inches in length, measuring across the shell from point to opposite point. No females with eggs may be taken. Look for soft, spongy-like formations under and around the shell which indicate the presence of eggs.
Grab a long stick, a long piece of string, some weights such as beach rocks and some chicken necks available at grocery stores. Put a chicken neck into a mesh bag, tie it to the end of the string with a weight, and attach the other end of the string to the end of the pole. Drop the weighted bait bag into the water and wait until the crab grabs the chicken neck, then scoop it up. Put the collected blue crabs into a bucket with water to preserve them until you are ready for a cookout.
