Have you ever been deep sea fishing?  

no, i hav'nt brandi_girl, but i allways fishing at the lake, once per week.
and i like fishing a goldfish....
do u know goldfish???

I describe deep sea fishing as an adventure. The last excursion ad was to the Dominican Republic and 5 of my buddies and I chartered a fishing boat. We caught one fish in all but it was a 7 foot blue marlin. We took turns hauling it in just for the experience and what a rush it was for each of us.

i love to fish too...we mainly fish for pan fish...but i would love to go out on the great lakes fishing someday..they have some great charter fishing boats...someday i'll be out there landing a huge whitefish...

when i was still married we use to go to chicago Il or wisconsin and take the charter boats out fishing that was so awsome i loved it some people that went with us would get sick but we did good and i liked the feeling of realing in the big salmon sometimes id end up with a bruise on my arm from realing them in but it was worth it
we would bring them home and have smoked salmon or bake it with stuffing or even cook it in some lemon and butter I love fishing of all kinds

I love fishing, any kind of fishing!
Yes, Brandi, you should go at least once. If you have only fresh water fished you will be as astounded a I was when I caught my first 59 pound fish! and he was a little one lol.
My advice for a novice, find what they call a headboat. This is a big boat where you buy a ticket to go. Much cheaper than charter cause they take more people. Also they are staffed with mates who can help you with everything. Tell them you are new to this kind of fishing and they will help you extra special cause they want you to return. They even provide and prepare the bait.
My first headboat trip was here in my state of North Carolina. The boat took some 70 fisherpeople. The trip was an all day trip for only $35. that included a rod/reel to use, bait, mates, bathrooms, a cook in the cabin who fixed sandwiches and burgers and such and of course a skipper to drive. And the trip was all day. All day of fun for $35? sign me up!! LOL
It is so different but I loved every second. I caught enough fish that day to pay for my trip. We sold what we wanted to to a fishhouse right there at the marina plus I brought 20+ pounds of filets home.
It is a great first deep sea experience cause anytime you feel you are at a loss you just yell "mate!" and help arrives.. And take it from me, a girl going alone gets lots of help and advice from the mates and the other fishermen. My brother goes sometimes and I love him, but I love going alone more. Great place to meet guys who love fishing too (wink).
One hint, most of them let you take a cooler. Food is expensive on the boat, naturally, so I take food and drinks with me. To combat seasickness take some ginger ale. Ginger is a time honored cure for nausea. I am lucky, have never been seasick.
My best catch yet was a 112 pound tuna. I only weigh 108! Talk about excited, I was beside myself. Took me over an hour to land him with the others cheering me on. And he was the third biggest we caught that day.
Then they hang the catch from the railings when you get close to landing so everyone waiting at the dock can see all the catch. They cheer too, and you feel like a real winner. Often the locals come down to meet the boats and will want to buy part of your catch for their supper.
I hope you will try it and I hope you love it as much as I do.
