Here are some suggestions: sunscreen, sweatshirts, rain gear (if forecasted), proper footwear (feet may get wet), sunglasses, a hat, camera, food, beverages, and a cooler for your take-home fillets.

It is customary to tip the mate 20% for a job well done. If there is no mate available for your trip, the captain will cover the mate's duties (in addition to piloting the boat and finding the fish). In that case, it is appropriate to tip the captain the gratuity that would have gone to the mate.
