Bring
a small cooler for food and drinks. Ask your
charter boat Captain how large of a cooler
you will need. You will also need a cooler
with ice to transport the fish home with
you.
A
sports bag is a good idea to bring for
carrying your gear, hat, glasses etc and
other personal items that you need on a
charter fishing trip.
Your
Chicago fishing charter will provide water
for you trip. We can cater your trip for the
cost of the food and drinks. Most of our
customers bring their won food and drinks.
Alcohol is allowed
If you will be fishing in foul or rainy
weather then you may want to bring a very
light weight wind breaker or rain jacket.
Bring
sun glasses. Preferably polarized fishing
glasses to lessen the sun's glare that
reflects up off the water. The sun can burn
you very quickly and bad sunburn can ruin
your fishing trip.
Bring a camera to take snapshots of those
big fish you catch or video of the beautiful
Chicago Skyline
A
hat or ball cap is a good idea, especially
for you guys that are getting a bit thin on
top. Protect your head from the sun's
burning rays.
If
you get sea sick or aren't sure if you get
sea sick then it is a very wise idea to take
your Dramamine the night before you leave
the dock. Nothing can ruin a fishing trip
worse than a guy named "RALPH".
Make
sure you bring sunscreen, especially if you
easily burn.
You
probably already paid for the trip but you
should make sure you have some cash in
pocket so you can tip the First Mate. Being
Mate on a charter boat is not easy work and
these guys deserve every dime they get.
