The most commonly sought after species for surf fishing are: 1. blacktip shark, 2. bull shark, 3. redfish, 4. hammerhead shark, and 5. tiger shark.

How much do surf fishing charters cost?

Prices for surf fishing can range anywhere from about $350 to $1,250, but the average price for a half day trip for surf fishing is $593. The average price for a full day trip for surf fishing is $1,602.

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 surf fishing charter?

The most popular season to go on a surf fishing charter is summer, and most anglers book their trips 17 days in advance.

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

    I had a really great experience with Frank. He took me to a beach where the fish were biting and I caught a lot of big bluefish, which is one of the species I was hoping to catch while here. I had a lot of fun; Frank is knowledgeable and helpful, and he gave me great tips on how to fish in the area. A worthwhile experience!!

    Trip: Screaming Drag Surf Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Steve was super flexible with us when we had to make a change, and also with the rain. He communicated clearly, regularly, and well! He knew the best times and place to fish! He really moved and kept our lines baited with fresh bait and with what was good for what we were fishing for. He is a fun guy, knows his stuff, came prepared, and made the experience great! We all caught at least one fish! (Not all pictured) And, one was a keeper! He filleted it for us right there (we brought a cooler with ice). It was the best fish taco I have ever had!! We would recommend him and go fishing with him again!

    Fernando and Ivan were fantastic. They set everything up and educated all of the kids on the sharks and the bait we were using. We caught a 7 foot Bull Shark and an 8 foot lemon shark. Memories for a lifetime.
