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

How much do atlantic mackerel 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.

    Had an awesome day on the water with Jesus and team — exactly what I came for! We had several schools of Mahi around us, some keepers and some just good ol’ fun fishing, plus a few nice ones caught while trolling. Huge thanks to Captain Jesus for a great time — my forearms are sore from the action, you will not be disappointed .

    We had an incredible day fishing with Tony! We booked an 8 hour fishing day and all of our expectations were exceeded, especially for a windy day. He was professional, but also down to earth, easy to chat with and made sure we had everything we needed for a successful fishing day! We are already looking for our next trip so we can come back and fish again with him.
