What types of ray fishing charters are common?

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

The most common fishing techniques are bowfishing, artificial lure fishing, and bottom fishing but drift fishing and fly fishing are popular as well.

How much do ray fishing charters cost?

Prices for ray can range anywhere from about $475 to $1,220, but the average price for a half day trip for ray is $641. The average price for a full day trip for ray is $3,788.

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.

    We had a great time! I didn’t know rays were so resilient that you could get them with an arrow and the would heal within a few days. Our guide Colby was awesome. He found a bunch of rays for us and helped us after each catch. Hew was awesome!

    Trip: Nighttime Bowfishing Adventure

    We were booked with Captain Joey, but we were guided and taken care of by Captain Mindy. I’m sure Joey is great, but I can’t imagine it going any better than it did with Mindy. She took great care of us, she was very patient with our kids (12&13), and helped us every step of the way. My wife and kids have never bow fished. I haven’t done so in 25+ years. So she basically had a boat full of newbies. We caught several! We missed several more! It was a lot of action and we enjoyed being out there at night for a change. Then my daughter caught the fish of the night! A very nice ray. My son had to shoot back up to make sure we landed it, so that made it even cooler. We would definitely take this trip again. If you get to go with Mindy that’ll be a bonus!

    Had a great experience out on the water with Captain Blair. He answered all my kids questions about sharks and fishing in the ocean. Ended up getting six fine tooth sharks.

    Trip: Family Shark Adventure Charter

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Melissa led us on a trip filled with good times and good memories for me and my family. She was patient and prepared, and was very good to my kids. We saw tons of neat marine life and flung lots of arrows. Didn’t find many large targets that night, so the small fish were difficult to bag, but that’s fishing sometimes. The boat was setup well and they provided everything needed for this excursion. I would book it again.
