What’s in the Cooler? Everything You Need to Know Before You Board Introduction: You’ve booked your trip with Ricky Business Charters—now what? Whether it’s your first time on a boat or you’re a lifelong angler, preparation is the key to a great day on the water. We handle the hard work, but here is a breakdown of what we provide and what you should bring to ensure a 5-star experience. What Ricky Business Provides (The All-Inclusive Experience): We pride ourselves on being a "turn-key" charter service. When you step on the boat, we have already taken care of: Licensing: No need to buy a Georgia DNR fishing license; our commercial boat license covers everyone on board. Premium Gear: We use high-quality rods, reels, and fresh terminal tackle. Bait & Ice: Whether we’re using live shrimp or cut bait, it’s fresh and ready to go. Fish Cleaning: If you catch a "keeper," we’ll filet and bag it for you back at the dock so it’s ready for the grill.
