What if you manage to catch a huge fish that takes more than five people to carry? Those are the things that you will experience during your deep sea fishing trip. If you are interested in taking a deep sea Myrtle Beach fishing trip, here are a few other things that you need to anticipate.

Myrtle Beach Fishing Trip

Nothing Shallow

As the name suggests, deep sea fishing means that you will to a spot where the water is more than thirty meters deep. In most cases, you won’t see any dry land when you go on this trip so be sure that you bring everything you need with you.

Your Trip Will Depend On The Weather

The weather and the wind have adverse effect on the strength of the water waves. Therefore, it is only natural for the captain to depend on the weather whenever they go on a deep sea fishing trip. Your skipper will tell you more about this during the trip. However, you don’t have to worry. The risks are minimized with the appropriate precautionary measures. If your fishing trip is cancelled because of these reasons, don’t worry. Voyager Deep Sea Fishing & Dolphin Cruises will immediately rebook your trip for another date and time.

You Will Board Bigger Boats

Deep sea fishing trips mean you will be boarding bigger boats compared to those used for inshore fishing. They are comprised of sturdier materials to endure the elements of the sea like the strong waves and winds. Fishing charter boats are also bigger so they could accommodate the big fish that anglers manage to catch.

More Physical Than Inshore Fishing

If you are used to sitting on your butt with one of your hands on the pole while the other one holding a can of beer, then think again. Myrtle Beach fishing is a more physical activity than inshore fishing. Once you hook your very first catch, you will feel a tug that needs both of your hands. The fish that you will catch when you go deep sea fishing is bigger and stronger than what you catch when going on an inshore fishing.

Different Set of Rods

Deep sea fishing uses the exact same tools but with different specs. The tackle used is more tolerant to sea water because of the salt, which it to corrode much faster than when fishing inshore or in fresh water. The lines are more durable to and are made to withstand game pull and weight. The conventional reels are replaced by multiplier reels so as to get rid of friction. The different equipment allows you to get a stronger and more stable hold of the line when you reel in your 100 pounder out of the sea water and to your boat.
