What types of wading charters are common?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for wading as well as river fishing, lake fishing, and inshore fishing.

The most commonly sought after species for wading are: 1. carp, 2. smallmouth buffalo, 3. flounder, 4. redfish, and 5. speckled trout.

How much do wading fishing charters cost?

Prices for wading can range anywhere from about $500 to $3,300, but the average price for a half day trip for wading is $898. The average price for a full day trip for wading is $2,092.

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 wading charter?

The most popular season to go on a wading charter is summer, and most anglers book their trips 20 days in advance.

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

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