You may want to know what the boat captains and first mates do to prepare your Hilton Head Island fishing trip. If you didn’t know… there is a lot that goes into making your fishing trip great. First off, usually the night before they catch the perfect bait for your trip. It is either kept live or put on ice. If it needs to be cut up, they take care of that too.

After they make sure they have the bait all sorted out, the next order of business is to take take care of the rods and reels. They check the fishing lines to make sure they are ready to go. Then, they make sure the lines are free of snags and are ready to cast. The spools are checked as well. Depending on what is biting will determine what hooks and weights will be needed to be added for your HHI fishing excursion. In addition, the fishing rods are checked for strength and durability. Once everything has been checked, the captains and first mates test the rods and reels to make sure they are casting correctly.

Now that the bait is handled and the rods and reels have been checked, on to the boat. They fill up the gas tanks, do safety checks, make sure the gauges are working, check the fluids, make sure the engine is running smoothly, check the radio, check the battery, make certain the coolers and or wells are iced, and make absolutely sure there are enough life vests for all passengers.

Whew! A lot goes into making your fishing trip on Hilton Head AWESOME! But… we don’t mind. We aim to please. We are just doing our job!
