What types of blacktip shark fishing charters are common in Texas?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for blacktip shark in Texas as well as nearshore fishing, inshore fishing, and jetty fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Texas are bottom fishing, light tackle fishing, and heavy tackle fishing but trolling and drift fishing are popular as well.

How much do Texas blacktip shark fishing charters cost?

Prices for blacktip shark in Texas can range anywhere from about $650 to $2,696, but the average price for a half day trip for blacktip shark in Texas is $775. The average price for a full day trip for blacktip shark in Texas is $1,604.

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.
