What types of fishing charters are common in Carolina?

The most commonly sought after species in Carolina are: 1. tarpon, 2. snook, 3. jack crevalle, 4. mangrove snapper, and 5. ladyfish.

The most common fishing techniques in Carolina are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and artificial lure fishing but fly fishing and cut bait fishing are popular as well.

How much do Carolina fishing charters cost?

Prices in Carolina can range anywhere from about $400 to $1,000, but the average price for a half day trip in Carolina is $564. The average price for a full day trip in Carolina is $703.

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 fishing in Carolina?

The most popular season for fishing in Carolina is spring, and most anglers book their trips 14 days in advance.

Do I need a Carolina fishing license and what are the bag limits in Carolina?

    We were originally booked for a 6-hour deep sea fishing trip with Juan Carlos; however, the weather was a bit too rough, so our 6-hour was changed to a 4-hour reef fishing experience. Despite the change, Captain Juan helped us to provide memories that will last us a lifetime. He took us to many great fishing areas, where my 15 year old son caught a 5-foot barracuda, a huge mackerel and a giant tarpon. Needless to say, my son had the time of his life. Thank you Captain Juan for the great day! We'll be booking again when we return to Puerto Rico!

    Gabrielle was awesome. Put us on fish. I went 4 for 7 in a 4 hour trip. Calm waters like glass. Won’t be disappointed. One around 40lb. Gabrielle made the trip and was an honest great captain.

    Trip: Puerto Rico Tarpon Excursion

  • ★★★★★
    We went out with Shag as our captain and his dog Marley. We were the first to the best spot and Shag never stopped working - chumming, resetting lines et al. I went with two buddies and all three of us landed big tarpin. He offered us soda, water etc too. Had great jokes and easy conversation. I would go back out with Shag in a minute and can't recommend him enough.
