What to expect
NC Fall Blitz - False Albacore (8 hours) is an active, fast-paced day on the water. Expect periods of intense casting and jigging when fish are on the feed, interspersed with travel between productive marks. Seas around 70 West Marina can be choppy at times; you’ll be standing, shifting weight, and re-rigging tackle frequently. Expect a mix of sight-casting for pelagic strikes and bottom/nearshore action for redfish. Crew will work quickly to land fish and keep gear organized; basic motion and spray are normal.
What to bring
Layered, breathable clothing: moisture-wicking base, fleece mid-layer, and a windproof/waterproof shell. Non-slip deck shoes or boots and a brimmed hat.

Lightweight gloves or fingerless fishing gloves, a small foul-weather bag for wet items, and a compact towel. Refillable water bottle (minimum 1–2 liters per person) plus electrolyte option. Portable lunch/snacks: sandwich or wrap, energy bars, fruit, nuts. Small personal first-aid items, motion-sickness remedy if you use one.
