Great fight! Thanks to Rich Marquard Jr. for the video of us landing this fish. - Captain Buddy With fishing, you can guarantee to get wet as conditions on the water quickly change. Getting caught in a storm is inevitable and for many anglers, this is no bother...that is, unless lightning strikes.
All anglers should carry good, quality rain gear that will keep you dry during heavy downpours. Essential rain gear is key and not all types are created the same. Know the difference between breathable vs non-breathable, water proof vs water resistant, fishing in cold weather vs fishing in hot weather during rain season! Educating yourself on these differences will allow you to plan for your charter experience and guarantee to stay dry! Have ideas, tips or tricks? Leave them in the comments below!
