Suggested Fishing Trip Packing List -
Things to bring

Breakfast:
If you would like to take the time for breakfast, bring eggs, bacon, bread for toast, butter, jelly, etc.

Otherwise donuts or a coffee roll will do. Some people do both, a big breakfast one morning and just coffee, milk, juice and morning snacks, (cereal) the second morning. It's up to you, we don't mind cooking. In any case, you will need to bring a pound of drip coffee.

Lunch:
Some people bring plenty of deli meats (turkey, ham, etc.) cheeses and an assortment of condiments (mustard, ketchup, mayo, salt, pepper, lettuce, tomato, etc.) We can cook anything you bring, hotdogs, hamburgers, etc. It's a good idea to bring cheap paper plates for sandwiches and chips. (Please no Styrofoam) Bring some snacks to munch on in between meals, like fruit, cookies, etc.

Supper:
We usually have fish, good either fried or baked. Some parties bring something different for the second night. It's nice to have a salad, (don't forget the dressing!) black beans and yellow rice are easy. Some good bread with butter is great. Remember this list contains suggestions, you may bring whatever you like. However, the following items are MANDATORY.

Mandatory Items!!

Chum bags, 1 gallon of bleach, vegetable oil, cracker meal (for frying fish), all beverages, including bottled water, good disposable plates (no Styrofoam) for any heavy meals, lighter plates for sandwiches and snacks, plastic cups for cold drinks and plastic utensils for all meals. (Fresh water is too precious to waste on washing dishes), sugar packets and some type of cream, 3 rolls of paper towels and 3 rolls of toilet paper. Sheets, blankets or sleeping bags, and pillows for the bunks. 30 gallon garbage bags for trash (about 6), plenty of rags for cleaning hands, knives, etc on the deck. Gallon size zip-lock bags for filets, left over cookies, chips, etc. Personal toiletries and towels. Motion sickness pills or ear patches. (ear patches are the best, but you need a prescription). We will check the list before departure. Captain will go to the store at last minute if necessary to complete the list (delaying your departure).
