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

How much do mako shark 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.

    Trip: Key West 47 Ft Hatteras

  • ★★★★★
    We booked a trip on their 47’ Hatteras, and it did not disappoint. Captain Nels put us on consistent action all day long and you could tell right away he knew exactly where to look and wasn’t afraid to move around until we found them. First Mate Tyson kept things running smoothly the entire trip. The whole crew made the day easy and fun for everyone on board. The boat itself was comfortable and well-equipped. Highly recommend Mark and his team for anyone looking for a productive, well-run trip. We’ll be booking again!
