That is the beauty of taking a charter for fishing.  You do not need any prior fishing experience.  Your captain and mate will guide you through fighting the fish.  Let your captain know how comfortable you are and what you would like to do.  Let the captain know how much you want to learn, he would be happy to share his knowledge.  All the tackle is provided and your captain knows where to go to increase your chances of catching fish.  Let your captain take care of the details so you can have a fun day on the water with friends and family.
