While casting your line into a river, lake, or creek affords great experiences there is really nothing quite like dropping your line into a depth of 100 feet and pulling out a marlin or tuna. You can combine a family vacation with great Cape Cod Deep Sea Fishing anywhere along the New England coast. There are wonderful towns like Hyannis Barnstable Ma and others all the way up through Canada where you can charter a boat for this adventure.

These are pricey outings so in order to not completely empty your wallet, try to make the trip with some friends. You can all split the cost while multiplying the fun. There are cruises available that will take a small group of people out. These are still fun but do know you will be with strangers so be friendly and mingle.

In places where deep-sea fishing is plentiful, especially vacation spots, you will have no trouble finding a charter boat. Prepare ahead of time though because they do fill up quickly. The need to book several days to several weeks ahead of time is not unusual. Ask people for recommendations, check pamphlets, and research online.

Do not be discouraged if you get to town then decide you want to try your hand at deep sea fishing. Just talk to people on the docks and check out pamphlets. Make some calls and you may be able to fill in on a trip that someone else cancels on.

Once you have your boat booked, find out what they provide and what you need to bring. Most provide licenses, rods and bait, and life jackets plus lunch. Still ask if there is anything they recommend or require you provide.

While preparing for your trip be sure to take along your sunglasses and sunscreen. People do not realize just how the bright the sunlight is when reflecting off the water. Things to not bring are jewelry or anything else you do not want to lose or have get soaked. The cloths you wear should be layered as your trip will probably last all day and it gets very cool on the water once the sun begins to sink.

The Captain and crew is going to know where the best fishing spots are and have good knowledge on techniques on catching a reeling them in, so listen to them. If you have questions on how to bait your line or how to get that 30 pound tuna on board, ask them and pay attention. One thing to remember, is that once you are on board the Captain is in charge. You may have hired them but the boat is their domain.

Here are two other easy tips. One is to stay hydrated, so drink plenty of water. Again, people do not realize how bright the sun is on the open water and they get dehydrated even on cloudy or overcast days. The second tip is to keep your eyes on the horizon if you start feeling queasy. The boat and water may rock and roll but the horizon is steady, keeping your eyes on it will help prevent seasickness.

Put your fish on ice to preserve its freshness. Do not keep anything over the legal limit and be sure to release any endangered fish. Be sure to have taken lots of pictures because you are going to want to brag about your catch when telling stories about the great trip you had.
