The most common fishing techniques are trolling, bottom fishing, and light tackle fishing but artificial lure fishing and live bait fishing are popular as well.

How much do false albacore 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.

    Great day on the water, Captain Kevin and First Mate Drew took care of everything and were very knowledgeable. We caught a number of fish including 27” Spanish Mackerel and 40”, 28 lb King Mackerel.

    Trip: Full Day Nearshore Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Richie was an awesome captain, he made sure that we caught fish and we got a lot of them! Cod, Tautog, Gunner, and Pollock were a wide range of fish across several different styles of fishing. He was extremely accommodating of my wife being a relative beginner and she caught some huge fish! Richie cleaned the Tautog we could take home for us and it was amazingly tasty in the meals we made from it so far. We also saw some ocean sunfish, seals, and a small great white shark! We'd highly recommend Richie to everyone.

    Had a great day fishing with Captain. Cord caught a few Spanish mackerels and even real in a good size barracuda. Cord was very flexible with us rescheduling since it rained on our original day.
