deep sea fishing

Sea sick?  Ideally not. These are only a few things you’ll experience when you go deep sea fishing.

Here are nine other things you may expect on your deep sea fishing expedition.

Absolutely nothing shallow

As the word “deep” means, you will be setting off on a fishing charter to deeper waters that are more than 50 meters deep. You will be traveling a considerable distance from dry land, so double check to make sure you have what you need – including Dramamine if you have a tendency to seasickness. Our ships are equipped with ship-to-shore radio in the case of an emergency when you go on a fishing trip.

Our vessels are the largest in the area so we rarely have to cancel due to weather.

Deep sea boats are much larger than the ones used for fishing closer to shore

Super Voyager III replaced 2 out of 3 of its engines providing less riding time to the Gulf Stream and more fishing time.

Deep sea fishing is more physical than fishing in the marsh or closer to shore

If you are accustomed to sitting on your buttocks with one hand on the pole and the other with a can of beer, think again. Deep sea fishing will take more than all hands on deck. When you hook that initial catch, it will be more than a jerk you can handle with one hand. The fish are larger and pull against the line more than inshore fish.

Various set of fishing poles

The fishing tackle is more tolerant to seawater as salt has the tendency to cause deterioration faster compared to normal inshore or freshwater equipment. Lines are made more resilient to stand up to larger fish weight and pull. Multiplier reels likewise take place on the standard reel to eliminate friction. The different gears let you have a more stable and more potent hold of your line as you reel your big catch out of the water and on to the boat.
