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.

Deep sea fishing in Morehead City

Morehead City, North Carolina, situated along the state's Crystal Coast, is a renowned destination for offshore fishing. This port town, known for its beautiful waterfront and easy access to the Atlantic Ocean, offers anglers a gateway to some of the most abundant fishing grounds in the region.

The waters off Morehead City teem with a variety of fish species, attracting both recreational and serious anglers. The area is particularly famous for its Blue Marlin fishing, making it a popular spot for big game sportfishing enthusiasts. In addition to Marlin, anglers can target other species like Mahi-Mahi (Dorado), Wahoo, Tuna (including Yellowfin and Bigeye), and Sailfish. The proximity to the Gulf Stream, which flows near the North Carolina coast, brings a variety of pelagic fish to the area, enhancing the offshore fishing experience.

Morehead City's offshore fishing is characterized by its high-quality and diverse opportunities. The town's location provides excellent access to deep ocean waters, allowing for a range of fishing experiences from nearshore expeditions targeting smaller species to adventurous deep-sea fishing excursions in pursuit of larger game.

The city offers numerous fishing charters with experienced captains who are experts at navigating these Atlantic waters. These charters cater to all levels of experience, offering options from half-day trips perfect for families or beginners to full-day and extended offshore adventures. Morehead City's captains are knowledgeable about the best fishing spots and techniques, ensuring a successful and enjoyable fishing trip.

For sportfishing enthusiasts, the waters off Morehead City are particularly appealing. The area hosts several prestigious fishing tournaments, including the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament, one of the largest and most popular marlin tournaments in the United States. These events attract competitive anglers from around the world.

Beyond its offshore fishing prospects, Morehead City offers a charming coastal experience. The town is known for its seafood festivals, waterfront dining, and a range of recreational activities. Its proximity to the Crystal Coast beaches and the historic Beaufort town adds to its appeal as a destination for a fishing trip combined with a relaxing vacation.

    We had a fantastic time. Caught lots of fish and enjoyed talking to Jason. He put us on fish immediately and moved to another location if the fish stopped biting. Never had time to eat the snacks we brought. Will book with Jason the next time we go fishing

    I booked this fishing trip for my wife’s birthday. Being workaholics, it’s the first vacation we’ve taken in YEARS. Captain Mike and Cody could not have possibly gave us a better time. Cody is friendly, polite, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain everything before the boat ever left dock. Mike is also incredible. Mike not only makes sure you’re going to find fish, he wants to make sure you enjoy yourself, and he genuinely cares about your safety. You can tell that these men are genuinely good people. We had a great time and can’t wait to book our next adventure with these guys. If anyone wants a great fishing experience, I would HIGHLY recommend these gentlemen!

    Jordan was a great captain! By gosh, by dern, he was going to find some fish for us. Nearly defeated, he found a spot at the end of our trip. He was kind enough to let us fish a bit longer than scheduled so we could pull in a few. Thank you!
