I pretty much agree with everything posted...

get some bonine and hand it out like candy...no reason for anyone not to take it...

bring ice chests, too many is a nuisance....too few is a disaster...

figure out how much bottled water you will need and then ice down three times that much...it always amazes me how much you can drink in that salt air with the sun bearing down on you...leave the beer back at the truck for when you return...


don't drink a drop the night before and do everything you can to get some sleep...he who has the most fun the night before is invaraiably the one who has a miserable trip the next day...

ETA: get yourself some bullfrog sunscreen and coat yourself before the sun rises...heavy doses on your nose, tops of ears and tops of feet...

I don't feel right if I'm not a tad bit hungover while fishing.

Yep, the time to drink is once you get out there and when you get back.

there sure are a bunch of pansies in this thread.... I did grow up on boats though and went through some pretty rough storms when i was very young... i like it when its rough.
