On the Outer Banks the weather is know for changing frequently. Be sure to bring sunglass, hats, sunscreen, bug spray and a few snacks and drinks. Youre welcome to bring alcohol, but id prefer no glass :) Ill have ice and a fish box for storing fish during the trip but I'd reccomend bringing a medium sized cooler to take fih home in if desired. I can clean your fish for you for an added cost of $50. Please note in our industry captains and mates work hard for to provide an above average experience.
