We are going out Monday the 28th, on a private charter on the Pelican with Deep Sea Headquarters. We have 12 guys going.
I have never been more than about 50 feet out in the ocean LOL

We are taking the 12 hour trip, and should be going a pretty good ways out..

What types of things do I need to know?

You should have a great trip if the seas are nice. You will catch snapper, amberjack, and kingfish and have a good shot at dolphin, wahoo, and tuna now that shrimping season is open and someone will catch a ling. I would recomend you get a Scopolamine patch from your doctor and put it on the night before so you won't get sick. The patch will give you a slight case of dry mouth but so will puking all day. If you have your own offshore rod you might want to take it. The captain of the Pelican has a great reputation for finding fish.

Good Luck

drink lots and lots and lots and lots of water. stay away from acidic foods the night before and morning of the trip. ginger tablets work well for preventing sea sickness (walmart carries them). retie after every big fish.

Well if keith schoolcraft or Captain John takes you out you are going to have one heck of a trip. I have worked and fished with both captains many times and both know how to find lots of fish and big ones too. Hope all goes well wish I was going too. As for the sea sickness I second SkeeterRonnie stay away from greese and acidic foods try eating oatmeal or pancakes with no bacon the mourning of. You should be able to bring your own water and drinks in a small soft side cooler also bring along some salty snacks and what not. As for fishing gear get you some snapper slappers, diamond jigs, and dont be afraid to get some skirts that a 1/2 ounce weight will fit in to go over your ribbon fish for kings. If you come to Bass Pro in Garland before you leave I can set you up with just about everything ask for James.

basspromaster- never ya knew ya worked with "ol Capt Redbeard"... hes my favorite capt. mean ol fart, but knows what hes talking about.

Good luck on the pelican. DSH boats are the best fleet on the coast! (Big E is in a seperate class- thats like a luxury cruise liner that you can fish off of)... smile

also James(basspro) - send a pm to SnakeEyes, he has those Phoenix Blaze rods you asked him about.
