Things to Remember

Getting a group of people together to hit the water and fish for a weekend is really just a good time.  The opportunity for most people to have the time for this type of getaway does not come as often as many would wish, so that is why it is important to take advantage of every change you can get out on the water.  Of course, preparing for a weekend away from the world with thoughts only of ...

Anyone who has gone fishing at some point in their life knows that there is much more to it than just a pole with some line on it.  The bait you choose, the spot you pick, and the type of rod and reel you use can make your fishing excursion a successful one or a not so successful one.  It all depends on a variety of factors and most of the factors are actually in your control.  One choice that ...

Most people simply cannot afford the luxury of owning a yacht.  However, that does not mean that you cannot enjoy time out in the Mediterranean or Caribbean on a beautiful and luxurious yacht.  That’s right, spending sunshiny days on the water on a yacht is no longer just for the wealthy.  There are yacht charters that allow you to set up a holiday that you will never forget.  Holidays and time away are not the only reasons to charter a ...

Monster waves are a problem for charter boaters who head out into choppy waters in stormy weather.  Thankfully, that doesn’t happen often, and most incidents involving rogue or monster waves happen by sheer accident instead of stupidity.  Sometimes, despite all the best laid plans, even the people who know better can be caught off guard.  Sometimes, the weather doesn’t pan out according to man’s expectations, and the result can be frightening or even tragic for those less experienced with the ...

Have you ever stopped to think about how the same issues that are affecting the ecosystems of the world also affect us when we charter a boat for a weekend of fun deep sea fishing?  Commercial fishing by the unscrupulous damages the environment, decreasing the home security of the sea creatures who live and contribute to the health of oceans all over the planet.  Commercial fishing is an important part of life for people who work in the fishing industry, ...

Once again another fall season is upon us.  While that might mean the water temperature is dropping, it does not mean that are fishing spirits are.  Keep in mind that during the fall months a lot of things change.  There are not as many people out on the water so if something does go wrong, there are less rescuers around too.  Hypothermia is another potential threat even on days when the air is warm enough for a tee, the water can still ...

Does that sound crazy to you?  Us too.

Last month a video surfaced of a Texas man with his son out in the Gulf off of Galveston in a kayak with a fairly large shark on the other end of his fishing pole.  Kevin Stevens along with his son Hunter decided to go fishing on a Saturday, and after about three hours they made the decision to start heading in because it was so hot out.  As Stevens was getting ready to bring ...

If you love to fish, then it is likely that you often have dreams that include sea swells coming up and licking the sides of your boat while you are out in a deep blue ocean with nothing to see but water and sky.  Hooking huge fish is another dream of any fisherman, and the best place to do that is out in the ocean.  Deep sea fishing is not for the weak.  The topsy turvy nature of the deep ...
