What types of tilefish fishing charters are common?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for tilefish as well as deep sea fishing, nearshore fishing, and jetty fishing.

The most common fishing techniques are artificial lure fishing, bottom fishing, and cut bait fishing but deep dropping and drift fishing are popular as well.

How much do tilefish fishing charters cost?

Prices for tilefish can range anywhere from about $1,300 to $11,500, but the average price for a half day trip for tilefish is $2,867. The average price for a full day trip for tilefish is $5,133.

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 tilefish fishing?

The most popular season for tilefish fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 33 days in advance.

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

See here for more information on tilefish fishing licenses, tilefish bag limits, and fishing season regulations for tilefish. When in doubt, your fishing guide will always know the right tilefish rules and regulations.

    Captain Alek was awesome. He took us to great spots and we caught a ton of fish. Very knowledgeable and friendly. When we came back he prepped all of our fish for us so we could have feast later than night. Great experience!

    Trip: Federal Waters Deep Sea Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    James and Dave provided an amazing experience for our family. They gave us an opportunity to hunt the big trophies and, when they weren't biting, put us on some delicious tilefish. We pulled up fish consistently for a couple hours and went back to trolling for the big one. We weren't able to bag a big tuna or marlin, but James and Dave worked hard to put us on big fish, told great stories, gave us a beautiful boat ride and made sure we caught plenty of fish for the cooler. I'd definitely do it again. It is a long day out, so be prepared for sun and some motion sickness. Pre-dosing sensitive riders is a good idea.
