What types of skate fishing charters are common?
Inshore fishing is the most popular type of fishing for skate as well as nearshore fishing, river fishing, and flats fishing.
The most common fishing techniques are bottom fishing, light tackle fishing, and live bait fishing but drift fishing and cut bait fishing are popular as well.
How much do skate fishing charters cost?
Prices for skate can range anywhere from about $433 to $950, but the average price for a half day trip for skate is $612. The average price for a full day trip for skate is $1,006.
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 skate fishing?
The most popular season for skate fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 11 days in advance.
Do I need a fishing license for skate and what are the bag limits for skate?
