The most commonly sought after species for jigging are: 1. chinook salmon, 2. coho salmon, 3. lake trout, 4. bluefish, and 5. striped bass.

How much do jigging fishing charters cost?

Prices for jigging can range anywhere from about $650 to $4,630, but the average price for a half day trip for jigging is $1,116. The average price for a full day trip for jigging is $2,951.

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 going on a jigging charter?

The most popular season to go on a jigging charter is summer, and most anglers book their trips 28 days in advance.

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

    Heck of a time with Jerrid! Friendly outgoing guy. Highly recommend him I promise you you’ll have a good time. He knew where to go even when fishing was hard at times. Still left with a bag of trout and an awesome sized red fish.

    Trip: Daytona Beach Offshore

  • ★★★★★
    Absolutely 5 stars!! If I could rate it 10 stars… I WOULD. Man did we get lucky, paid for the nearshore 8 hours and Captain Rodney was nice enough to have his offshore boat come pick us up 20 miles offshore to take us deep sea fishing because we wanted to catch red snappers. Captain Jeb and James were the best of the best in what they do as well! All around amazing trip! Definitely coming back to get that Amberjack trip!

    Trip: Mixed Bag Fishing- Destin, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    When I moved to Oregon from Chicago 3 years ago, one of the “must do’s” was catch my first fish. Thanks to the instruction and encouragement from Captain Bryan, the fruits of this Labor Day trip resulted in reeling in a 17 lb salmon. I was thrilled. Our final cache for the day-one super salmon and 17 crab. Highly recommend this trip for to beauty of the bay, peek at the ocean, and a great combination of fishing and crabbing. We’ve already planned an ocean Coho trip on return. Captain Bryan was the perfect combination of encouraging, entertaining, and an excellent teacher. Counting the days until we can do it again!
