What types of kayak fishing trips are common?

River fishing is the most popular type of fishing for kayak fishing as well as lake fishing, inshore fishing, and flats fishing.

The most commonly sought after species for kayak fishing are: 1. largemouth bass, 2. smallmouth bass, 3. blue catfish, 4. striped bass, and 5. tautog.

How much does a kayak fishing fishing trip cost?

Prices kayak fishing can range anywhere from about $483 to $2,745, but the average price for a half day trip kayak fishing is $517. The average price for a full day trip kayak fishing is $1,528.

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 kayak fishing trip?

The most popular season to go on a kayak fishing trip is spring, and most anglers book their trips 38 days in advance.

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