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 bottom fishing charter in North Carolina?
The most popular season to go on a bottom fishing charter in North Carolina is summer, and most anglers book their trips 52 days in advance.

Great time in perfect weather ! Caught a lot and learned a lot from Jason. If you have never been fishing off the coast call him. He’s patient, knowledgeable and fun to be around. If you have fished off the coast some but want to go out deep sea fishing call Jason. He’s can make that happen too. That’s who I’m going to call for my next 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!
