The crew of June Bug wants to make your charter fishing trip as convenient, safe and comfortable as we possibly can. No matter what type of sport fish you are fishing for (tuna, marlin, fluke, sea bass, dolphin/mahi-mahi), you will need certain essentials to help ensure your safety and comfort. 

To help meet your personal needs during the trip, here are some things you need to bring: 

Lunch, snacks, beverages, cooler, sunscreens, sunglasses, camera and film or tapes, light foul weather gear, and seasonal clothing. Please do NOT bring any beverages in glass containers. They may break and cause safety issues. You will be asked to return such containers to your vehicle before the start of the trip. Motion sickness medicine can be inexpensive insurance to make sure you have a good fishing trip. Consult with your physician. Also, bring a three (3) days' supply of all of your medications just in case.

The crew will limit quantities of beer brought on board.  No liquor is permitted aboard.

Please be considerate with the amount of gear that you bring.  There is limited storage on board “June Bug” and most of that is used to store fishing tackle.  A moderate sized duffle should be your limit.  Your coolers may be used to haul your gear, food, and beverages to the boat.  We will then store your stuff in storage bins and in the coolers that will be on the boat.  You may then return your coolers to your vehicle to await your return.

We provide bait, tackle, and ice. You may bring your favorite rod, if you wish, as long as it is in good condition with fresh line matched to the game fish you are seeking and you have cleared the use of your own tackle with the Captain prior to your trip.  We carry a lot of ice to insure that your catch is in the best condition possible when it hits the dock.  You will need a large cooler to take your catch home.  We strongly recommend 1 to 2 pounds of ice for each pound of fillets.  You may have any leftover ice on the boat at the end of your trip to transport your fish home.  This assures that your catch will arrive at its destination in excellent condition for your dinning preparation and enjoyment.

The mate is available to clean and bag your catch.  If you request that the mate assist you with this work, please make sure that you include an extra amount in the mate’s tip to cover his time, effort, and skill in properly cleaning and bagging your catch.
