Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for needlefish as well as inshore fishing, flats fishing, and river fishing.

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

How much do needlefish fishing charters cost?

Prices for needlefish can range anywhere from about $759 to $2,550, but the average price for a half day trip for needlefish is $941. The average price for a full day trip for needlefish is $1,716.

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.

What month is best for needlefish fishing?

The most popular season for needlefish fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 29 days in advance.

Do I need a fishing license for needlefish and what are the bag limits for needlefish?
