What types of whiting fishing charters are common?

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

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

How much do whiting fishing charters cost?

Prices for whiting can range anywhere from about $475 to $2,355, but the average price for a half day trip for whiting is $884. The average price for a full day trip for whiting is $1,534.

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 whiting fishing?

The most popular season for whiting fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 17 days in advance.

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

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

    Me and my family went out with captain Zach and had an awesome day. Weather wasn’t in our favour but made the best of it and landed some fish! Captain Zach was very helpful, runs good fishing gear and has a beautiful boat. Will be booking our next trip with him when we’re back in south Padre for a family vacation!

    Ruben was amazing! He knew the areas to go to catch fish, but we got so much more. We saw dolphins swimming, learned more about the area, and caught so many fish! His recommendations for where to take our fish for dinner was also great! We will book another trip with him!

    Captain Chad took my wife and I out for a four hour inshore fishing trip around the Biloxi Bay. We had a great time, and caught a variety of species. Chad is a very knowledgeable local fisherman who caters to all angler levels. We learned so much about the ecosystem around the Biloxi MS gulf coast, and how to use different fishing techniques. Spotted some dolphins too. We left with a cooler full of sheepshead, black drum and southern flounder filets. Thanks again Chad!

    10/10 if we could put him up there , went out for a bachelor party and had a great time with Carlo. We had to cut the day short for some people and take them back to the dock but Carlo offer to take the rest of us back out for a couple more hours after. Definitely be using him every time we go out, not to mention we caught some of the biggest drum and sheep head inshore we’ve seen.

    Captain Carlo was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Add to that the fact that we all caught a variety of fish and two of us had only been fishing once before in our lives, and you have a perfect day. Thank you!

    Trip: Surf fishing

  • ★★★★★
    We were looking for a different kind of fishing trip and found it - we loved the surf fishing experience with Capt Max! He is a professional in every sense - he reached out to ensure we knew what to expect and where to meet. The beach location was easy to find & park and he had chairs & water waiting for us. Capt Max is very personable - loved hearing his story! The surf was very rough so we didn’t have high expectations, but Capt Max worked hard to find fish! We caught three nice pompano which he cleaned for us on the beach (they were delicious by the way!). Plus, we were treated to a beautiful sunset! What’s not to love?! No early morning, no bouncing around on a boat, spending time on the beach, great sunset, and a tasty dinner - perfect start to a beach vacay! Can’t wait to do it again and a big thank you to Capt Max!
