Last summer I had my first real try at fishing, but it was just a small freshwater lake near home with some basic gear. Now I’m thinking about taking it to another level and maybe trying sea fishing in Seychelles when I go on vacation there. Honestly, I have no clue how to get ready for something like that. Do I need to bring my own equipment or is it usually provided? And how about seasickness — is that something beginners struggle with a lot? I’d really like to make the trip enjoyable rather than stressful, so any tips for preparation would be awesome.

I’m not really into fishing myself, but I always enjoy reading these kinds of threads. It’s interesting how different the experience sounds compared to what most of us are used to in daily life. The ocean, the boats, and the idea of being out there for hours with nothing but waves and sky — it all seems like a pretty unique adventure, even if you’re just going along for the ride rather than fishing.
When I went for my first trip out there, I felt the same way and was worried I’d be unprepared. What helped me a lot was booking one of the seychelles fishing trips , because they made sure everything was organized. They gave us a private fishing guide who explained the basics step by step, and the crew followed sustainable fishing practices so we weren’t harming the ocean life. They provided the rods, bait, and safety gear, so I only needed to bring sunscreen and a hat. If you’re new, it’s better to rely on their equipment first — it’s high quality and suited for the local conditions. Seasickness can happen, so I’d recommend motion sickness pills just in case. Honestly, once the boat got moving and I focused on the fishing itself, I barely noticed it.
