What to Bring and Wear for your Riptide trip

Fishing is great for keeping fit. You give your heart and lungs a great workout especially if you’re hooking large fish. Another perk is you increase your vitamin D intake from being out in the sun all day. Fishing also reduces stress and may improve your self-esteem, especially when you reach your goals. Finally, fishing lets you get away from technology.

What Do You Bring on a Fishing Charter?

The most important part of fishing is being prepared. So be sure to bring the following items with you on your fishing charter with Riptide Charters.

Weather Protection
Items such as sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses, hats, and waterproof clothing are a must on all fishing trips but especially on large boat charters.

Clothing
Layers are the best way to go when packing for a fishing trip. That means you should bring a windbreaker jacket, and waterproof clothing , a heavyweight shirt, gloves, light-colored clothing, and nonslip waterproof shoes.

Pharmaceuticals
If you’ve never been on the water before, bring sea sickness medication along with bug spray and hand sanitizer. 

Storage
A backpack is a great way to keep everything together. Also bring a cooler, a drinking bottle, and a waterproof bag for electronics.

Additional Essentials
Remember to pack a camera, towel, your phone, and personal ID.
