EAT

Anglers are required to bring their own food and drink for the duration of the 60 hour trip. Pack a personal cooler no larger than 48 quarts with everything you need to nourish your body and feed your adventurous soul. A microwave is available onboard. Don’t forget drinking water!

❌ NO GLASS

❌ NO LIQUOR

SLEEP

Anglers are required to bring personal bedding. Empty bunks are stripped down and ready for your personal sleeping bag, pillow, and an optional extra blanket.

What else should  I pack?

Appropriate clothing for the weather, an extra change of clothes and shoes, extra jacket, and a hand towel.

❗️Pro Tip: Although not required, a great pair of water-resistant shoes, like Xtratufs, can make your trip more enjoyable.  Soggy shoes can put a damper on even the most exciting experience. Stop in the store at Deep Sea Headquarters to try on a variety of Xtratuf styles.

FISH

Everyone 17 and older must have a valid Texas saltwater fishing license.

Rods, reel, bait, and some tackle will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own gear. Anglers are encouraged to bring 3-5 jigs, to increase their chances for success. We do have 6–10oz jigs available for sale in the store.

Optional tackle

• • •  Poppers (130 Halco: Bonita, Pilchard, etc.)
    • Artificial Flying Fish (Pink or Blue)
    • Rod and reel you can cast, spooled with 50lbs test

REPEAT

Now that you are headed home with your catch and a heck of a story, what’s next? Tip your crew, take pictures at our fish hanging station, arrange to get your fish cleaned and/or mounted, and book your next adventure!

TIPS–Your crew worked hard to rig bait, spool rods, put you on the fish, gaff and store your catch, and encourage a professional and positive experience. Each angler is encouraged to tip 15–20% of the cost of the trip.

CLEANING–Fish cleaning is available upon return at the fish house conveniently located at Deep Sea Headquarters. CASH ONLY.

MOUNTING–Fish mounts are a great way to remember an epic catch but several measurements and pictures need to be recorded BEFORE the fish is cleaned. Head straight into the store at Deep Sea Headquarters to inquire about taxidermy mounting services.
