Hat or cap, sunglasses, waterproof sunscreen, rod belt, tennis shoes, long-sleeve shirt for sun-sensitive, windbreaker for cooler months.
Rental Tackle:
We have high quality gear available for rental at the hotel, featuring Shimano lever drag reels. We also have spinning rods available for shore fishing. Our captains do have a basic assortment of lures and terminal tackle for your use. We also maintain a assortment of lures and terminal tackle available for purchase in our gift shop.
