If it be the first time for ya' (I'm assuming that it be a charter fishin' boat) then I would suggest highly taken some motion-sickness pills! Dramamine is the most common form and the less expensive. Don't mean ta' scare ya' off, but it's no fun headin' out with the idea of catchin' some big ones and have sea-sickness interfere. Good idea is to start takin' them 24 hrs., before the trip annnnnd ya' should be fine. Check out the label before ya' take my advice ie., 24hrs before departure ~ be on the safe side. Other items would be a good sun screen blocker, camera, and a good jacket (them winds can get pretty chilly). That be all that comes ta' my mind, but I'm sure there will be others to add to your needs. To reiterate, not tryin' ta' scare ya' off, but better safe than sorry.

It really depends where you're going and what you're fishing for. Check with the landing/boat for tackle recommendations, whether it's provided or not (this varies) or if you can rent it, and specifically what tackle you need. (Depending on the season and what's biting, anything from 10 to 50 pound or heavier line may be needed, sinkers vary from nothing to a couple pounds or more, you may need trolling or casting lures or just be fishing with bait, etc.) If you'll be rigging your own line, be sure you bring clippers to cut the line. Nail clippers can work, but sharp diagonal cutters (dikes) are better for heavier line. The dikes can also be used to unhook the fish.
Like other people have mentioned, some sort of seasick medication may be warranted, either if you have had problems with seasickness in the past or if you've never been offshore and don't know if you have a problem.
Sunscreen, a hat and jacket (you never know what the weather's going to do), a camera, money for food (if it's not included) and for tipping the crew (assuming they do a good job). Wear clothes (especially shoes) which won't be wrecked by salt water. Don't wear sandals -- decks tend to be rough, and if someone steps on your toes (on a rocking boat, this happens) it'll hurt.
And of course, bring a good attitude. Plan on having fun, even if the fish don't cooperate, or worse, if other people get them and you don't.

I would guess that everyone else is taking care of the actual fishing stuff, so you want to take some sea sick pills of some kind. Take some a couple of hours before you go, and then when you get out there. Ginger is also good, so ginger beer might be a good drink choice. Some gum and mints if they dont work, and also to take away from the deisel smell.
Layers of clothing, it might range from hot to freezing. A good water proof outer layer is essential in case of spray. Tissues.
Fishing is hungry and thirsty work, plenty of cold beers and snacks, a good lunch if they dont provide, its better to have too much than be stuck on a boat for the next 4 hours starving. Dont forget your life jacket. Enjoy!

Take a video camera. If someone hooks into a big fish, you will want those memories recorded. Also take a camera. You get some really good photographs out there in the ocean. As far as sea sickness take motion sickness pills and also ginger root. The root vegetable ginger is good to settle your stomach. And keep your eyes on the horizon if your feel like you are going to get sick. Whatever you do, don't go to the cabin to lie down, that will only make you feel worse. Also dress warmly.

If it is a chartered trip, they will provide you with all tackle, rods, bait, etc. You will need to bring your personal things, but always include:
Triptone (much better than Dramamine because you won't get drowsy)
sun block
water (lots)
salty snacks if it is hot
food
gloves
camera
aspirin
sun glasses
There are more things I am sure, but these are important. If you are not going on a chartered trip, ask the owner of the boat what you should have because the fish you are going after will determine the bait and other factors.
Have fun!

Dramamine and ginger. Both are great for making you feel better when the boat get rocking. Also take a large bottle of sunscreen as the sun is brutal coming off the water, but the tempature may not be warm. You can even get burned pretty badly on a cloudy day out on the ocean.
Your own personal bucket may be nice as well if the weather gets really rough....:)

On your deep sea fishing trip you should bring a heavy action pole,heavy reel, gaph, and large trolling lures depending on what kind of fish you are fishing for. Good luck on your trip!
