What types of school shark fishing charters are common?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for school shark as well as nearshore fishing and jetty fishing.

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

How much do school shark fishing charters cost?

Prices for school shark can range anywhere from about $650 to $855, but the average price for a half day trip for school shark is $650. The average price for a full day trip for school shark is $825.

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 school shark fishing?

The most popular season for school shark fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 56 days in advance.
