Be Ready for the Weather

Fishing destinations are often picked on the basis of glowing fish reports and gorgeous photographs. No one said that it rains in this otherwise perfect location. Even if the sun is shining, make sure you pack a coat for unseasonably cold mornings, rain gear for the once-in-a-lifetime hurricane and some extra, dry footwear. If the weather goes south your trip won't have to follow. If you're heading out into the cold, take battery-powered hand and sock warmers with you. They can take a lot of misery out of an outing. Extra batteries would be a plus.
