If you have never gone on a deep sea fishing charter before then it’s highly likely that your reference point is the popular shows like Shark Men and Deadliest Catch. But one thing is for sure. Your day in the water is going to be more relaxing that what you see on the TV shows. If you have scheduled an upcoming trip, here are a few things you need to prepare and what to expect.
What To Prepare Before You Hop Into A Deep Sea Fishing Charter
The first thing you need to do when you get on the deep sea fishing Myrtle Beach charter boat is to look for a place where you can stash your gear. Don’t leave your things on the boat deck. The deck will become wet and the crew as well as the other anglers require some space where they can pass through. Sign in on the manifest of the ship. Don’t forget to introduce yourself to everyone on board.
You will also be asked if you would like to have a bag, which is very affordable by the way. If you want one, you will also be given a bag number. Don’t forget what your number is. You will need that when you catch a fish later. The deckhand will get the fish you caught off the hook and ask you what bag he needs to put it in. You can also join the jackpot for a minimal fee of $5. If you do, and you have the biggest fish then you win the jackpot.
Once the deep sea fishing charter gets underway, the captain may see you on the deck or talk over the intercom. Listen to what he is saying. He will tell you where the safety equipment are and give you an idea as to what you need to expect during your Myrtle Beach fishing trip. If you were not able to catch everything that the captain said then you always talk to a crew member.
When you are on the fishing ground, be sure to remain calm. Look for an open spot on the rail and be sure to wait for the captain to say that it is time to drop the lines. If you drop too early and the boat is still settling into the perfect spot, you may end up getting tangled up or you need to do it again.
What is important here is to be patient and wait for the captain to say go. If the bait you are using is squid the feel free to bait the hook early. In case you are using live bait or live fish, do not remove it from the handwell until you are all set to fish. You want the bait to be lively when placed at the end of the line so it could attract a fish to bite.
Once the fishing trip is done and you are on your way home, a deckhand will tell you if it is time to weigh in for the jackpot. In case you join, you will get the chance to see what others have caught.
