WHAT TO PACK

You've locked in your fishing adventure with The Reel Charters, and now it's time to pack for an epic day on the water. Here's what you'll need to ensure comfort and protection during your Tampa, St. Petersburg, St. Pete Beach, or Clearwater inshore or deep-sea fishing excursion.

Comfort:

Prepare for changing weather conditions by opting for layered clothing. Mornings tend to be cooler, while late afternoons can get hot, so versatility is key. Don't forget to be ready for the occasional rain shower, especially during certain times of the year. Your charter Captain will provide the latest weather updates just before departure.

Protection:

Proper sun protection is crucial for a pleasant day of fishing. Wear protective clothing and use effective sunscreen to shield your skin from the sun's harmful rays, both direct and reflected off the water. Remember, even when shaded, exposure can be risky, so it's wise to be cautious and avoid sunburns.

Food and Drinks:

Your Captain will supply bottled water, ice, and a cooler for your convenience. Feel free to bring along your preferred snacks and beverages, including alcoholic options.

What to Pack for Your Fishing Charter:

  • Non-skid rubber sole shoes for safety on deck.

  • Light-colored clothing to stay cool on hot days.

  • Lightweight, long-sleeve shirts made of micro-fiber for sun

  • protection.

  • Your favorite hat, preferably wide-brimmed, for added sun protection.

  • Waterproof windbreaker for rain or cool mornings.
