Getting ready for an exciting day on the water with Captain Brooks? Whether it’s your first charter or you’re a seasoned angler, packing the right gear makes all the difference. Here’s a quick checklist to ensure you’re fully prepared for your fishing adventure.

Essentials to Bring

  • Valid Fishing License (if required – check with the captain beforehand)
  • Photo ID
  • Cash for tips (customary for your hardworking crew!)

Sun & Weather Protection

  • Polarized sunglasses
  • Sunscreen (reef-safe preferred)
  • Lightweight hat or cap
  • Long-sleeve UV-protective shirt

Food & Drinks

  • Plenty of water
  • Snacks or a packed lunch (especially for full-day charters)
  • Cooler for your catch (ask Captain Brooks if ice is provided)

Comfortable Clothing

  • Quick-dry clothing
  • Non-slip shoes or boat sandals
  • Light rain jacket (weather can change quickly!)

Optional Items

  • Camera or GoPro for capturing big catches
  • Motion sickness medication (just in case!)
  • Personal fishing gear (if you prefer your own, though Captain Brooks provides quality tackle)

Bonus Tip: Leave valuables at home—saltwater and electronics don’t mix well. Just bring the essentials and a good attitude, and Captain Brooks will handle the rest!

Get ready for a day full of fun, fish, and Florida sunshine. Tight lines!
