Captain David keeps the tackle straightforward, using spinning rods combined with live shrimp and artificial lures, making the trip accessible for anglers of all skill levels—from novices to experts.

All necessary gear, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses are provided. Guests should bring their personal snacks, beverages, sunscreen, and a raincoat for longer trips. If you prefer to use your own equipment, Captain David recommends a 7 to 8.5-foot rod paired with 40-pound braided line for best results.
