What types of ray fishing charters are common?

Inshore fishing is the most popular type of fishing for ray as well as flats fishing, river fishing, and nearshore fishing.

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

How much do ray fishing charters cost?

Prices for ray can range anywhere from about $480 to $1,080, but the average price for a half day trip for ray is $612. The average price for a full day trip for ray is $1,058.

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 ray fishing?

The most popular season for ray fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 16 days in advance.

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

    Trip: Stone Harbor Inshore/Nearshore

  • ★★★★★
    Frank clearly knows these waterways and is a true master of Stone Harbor / Cape May. He took us to 7 spots in 4 hours to find the fish and even stayed out with us longer than the original length of the trip. It also seems like he really cares about his customers and was great with the more green members of our group. Would easily book another trip next time we're in the area. --Attison with Captain Experiences
