The coastal waters of Cabo San Lucas are well known for their splendor and abundance of exotic game fish that make tasty seafood cuisine. There is no doubt that Cabo San Lucas is a dreamland for people who love to fish. Vacationers visiting Cabo San Lucas should definitely have fishing on their to-do list to make their trip memorable.
Fishing is a great activity, unless you wear the wrong clothing to the expedition. It is really important to take into consideration comfort and functionality, as well as protection from the UV rays.
Remember that deep sea fishing is a sport, and just like any other sport, dressing appropriately will enhance your experience as well as performance.
Here is a brief guide about what to wear on a deep sea fishing trip:
Sunblock
The most important thing before going out to fish is to protect the skin.
You must use a high quality sweat proof sunblock that does not run down to your eyes or mouth. The best choice is an oil free formula that is waterproof and hypoallergenic, as you don’t want to have greasy residue in your hands impairing your grip.
If you are visiting Cabo San Lucas during summer, then you will have to apply sunblock after every few hours, so you will have to take baby wipes with you.
Head Covering
When it comes to covering the head, always go for a wide-brimmed hat. A ball cap is not a bad choice either, but it won’t provide you with adequate protection to your neck, ears and face. Ensure that the hat is made if of breathable material, so that your scalp sweat.
If you are planning to go in the winters, then take a hat liner. Although this may seem like an unconventional choice, you will feel grateful for it once when you are facing the chilly air of the sea. A hat liner is not only a good choice against the cold; it will also protect you from sunburn.
Clothing
Remember that you are heading out to sea, which means a lot of sweating and moisture. So it is important to have base layer that helps the moisture to escape from the body and keeps your body dry. Look for 100% polyester with 50+ UPF rating. These are specifically designed to repel water, and are stain and odor resistant.
When it comes to the top, you can go with a 100% nylon shirt, which will keep you cool. It is better to have a long-sleeved shirt to protect your arms, as you can always roll them whenever you feel warm.
Wearing multi-pocket shorts during your trip is also a good idea, as they will provide extra storage. Ensure that the shorts have lots of pockets so that you can carry all the fishing stuff easily. Keep a spare pair of pants with you if you are planning to come back to shore after sun down, as it can get cold.
