Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for on a artificial lure fishing charter in North Carolina?

    Great day on the water, Captain Kevin and First Mate Drew took care of everything and were very knowledgeable. We caught a number of fish including 27” Spanish Mackerel and 40”, 28 lb King Mackerel.

    Trip: Full Day Nearshore Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Trey was priceless in helping us out in a pinch! We had scheduled our company trip with another fishing charter, who ended up canceling on us last minute. Trey went above and beyond to help us find another charter in time! Our experience with Captain Shane out of Morehead NC was absolutely outstanding! They took care of us in every way making sure we all had an exciting day catching all kinds of fish and getting it all ready to take home with us. We will definitely use Trey with Captain Experience when booking our next Charter! Thank you Trey for your attention to our unique situation, we wouldn’t have pulled it off without you!

    Trip: SLOW PITCH JIGGING / 250-600 Ft

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Drew took us out on a fantastic half day inshore trip. I took my son (9 y/o) and one of my buddies from college. His boat was super clean and well equipped for our charter. He had all the tackle we needed for successful time on the water. This guy knows how to fish: within 10 minutes of getting to our first spot, we already had a fish on the line: an over slot red drum. The second drum was a keeper and Drew kindly fileted it for us afterward (red drum grilled on the half shell is now one of my favorites). We moved to a few different spots throughout the morning and all together we caught about 9 fish. We let all but one go. Captain Drew really knows these waters and he was able to cater to more novice anglers and kids (my son and i) as well as more experienced anglers (my buddy) on the same trip. If i make it back to the carolina coast again, I would absolutely book Captain Drew

    Captain Mike knew exactly where to take us to ensure we caught fish! Mike gave us a lot of useful information and was super nice. We caught Spanish mackerel, Blue fish, Black Sea bass, Black tip sharp, and several others. We really enjoyed our trip and highly recommend Captain Mike!
