Things to Pack for a Night Fishing Trip In Paso Robles 

Traveling is an exciting venture one can embark on, especially if you are planning an outdoor adventure like fishing. You may get excited about your adventure because it is quite different from any other traveling experience. If you are headed to Paso Robles, night fishing can be one of the most unforgettable activities you can do in this beautiful place. We suggest heading to Lake Nacimiento for some fishing fun.

Before you proceed with your night fishing trip, there are things that you need to consider first. Here is a list of things to pack for a night fishing trip so you can avoid any inconveniences.

Bring Your Safety Gear

While you are on a boat at night, it can be difficult to navigate your way around. Remember these pieces of safety gear for your night fishing:

  • Headlamps and flashlights with extra batteries
  • Boat lights
  • First aid kit
  • Emergency blanket
  • Pocket knife
  • Mobile phone

Choose the Right Clothing

Aside from preparing your gear and permits, you should also take time to consider your clothing. You need to factor in the weather during your scheduled trip, along with how you are planning to fish. Are you staying onshore, or are you planning to fish while on a boat? Make sure that you also have a waterproof jacket fight off the cold of the night and to keep your valuables from getting wet.

Don’t forget to bring extra clothes for changing. Packing in some essentials like socks, towels, and underwear should be considered.

Prepare a Camping Tent

Never forget your camping tent. Choose a size that would fit your gear and important items, specifically if you plan to take a breather from angling. A two person tent is ideal if you want to have more legroom inside. Make sure that it is not too cramped up inside so rest comes easy.

Bring Water and Food

You might be going on a fishing trip, but it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t include food as part of your essentials. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to catch fish in one sitting. Sometimes, it takes hours before you can even land one. Don’t be so overconfident to think that you’ll immediately have a fish that you can devour as the night wears on. Bring crackers, biscuits, bread, or anything that can fill your stomach when you get hungry. Better yet, prepare a hearty meal that you can bake before you leave. Check out this pork belly recipe for some mouthwatering meal for your trip. Pack your cooler with some good old beer and, of course, water.

Pack Comfort Items

Fishing is an activity that can really test your patience. Nonetheless, this activity is a form of therapy, so make sure that you bring your comfort items, such as seat cushions, heaters, thermos with coffee, and other things to make the cold of the night more bearable.

Load Your Fishing Gear

You are going on a fishing trip, and the last thing that you should not forget is your fishing gear. Check if your equipment is complete and working well. It also pays to bring an extra spool of fishing line and an extra leader. You should also pack your tools so you can address any issues during your trip. Make sure to include pliers, since you might need to adjust your plug’s eyes. It would also help to bring a customized hook remover so you can quickly unhook your fish.

Now that we’ve got that all covered, why don’t you start packing now and schedule your fishing trip?
