How much do Virginia Beach black drum fishing charters cost?

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.

    Bud was awesome. Weather kept changing up on us, and he was able to change plans to get us on fish. My dad and I had a great time and caught solid fish.

    My husband, brother-in-law, and father had an incredible time with Kaleb! I planned the trip as a Father’s Day outing, and they all had an absolute blast. They haven’t stopped talking about it and are already asking when they can book their next trip with him! Kaleb was personable, accommodating, and communicative from the moment the trip was booked. He made everyone feel comfortable and ensured they had an unforgettable experience on the water. His knowledge, professionalism, and laid-back personality made for the perfect day. If you’re looking for a fun, memorable fishing charter with a captain who truly cares about his guests having a great time, I highly recommend booking with Kaleb. We’ll definitely be back!

    Trip: Cobia Fishing Charter

  • ★★★★★
    I would give the overall trip a 6 out of 10, Mike our guide did all he could to put os on fish, without much luck. I believe the wind was a factor and in our never leaving the shallow sound areas. Also Mike stated with a child aboard he wasn’t comfortable with leaving the shallower sound areas. The overall experience was not what it was advertised to be. Maybe we will have better luck next time. Tom Terry
