All you need is a small cooler with drinks and food for your day. Half day trips, drinks and snacks should be all you need. All day trips we suggest packing a lunch. The boat has a North Carolina Blanket Fishing License that covers everyone aboard so you do not need to purchase one to go with us. We provide all the tackle, bait and gear needed to catch a wide variety of fish but we encourage you to bring along your favorite rods, reels, lures or ideas to help make your day more successful and enjoyable. We are always willing to learn something new and try different techniques used in different areas. Even some freshwater methods can be highly successful in the salt so dont hesitate to make suggestions or try things that have worked for you.
