The most common fishing techniques are trolling, bottom fishing, and heavy tackle fishing but live bait fishing and light tackle fishing are popular as well.

How much do deep sea fishing charters cost?

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 deep sea fishing?

The most popular season for deep sea fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 14 days in advance.

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

    Danny was amazing! He coached my son through landing a giant sailfish after a long fight. He is kind, friendly and helpful…and worked hard to make sure we had a great day!

    Trip: Sport Fishing Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    It wasn’t fishing. It was like winning the lottery. Every time a hook went into the water, a fish would come up. This charter was the best I’ve ever taken. The crew was amazing. The captain knew exactly where to fish. These guys spoiled us.

    Trip: Wanchese Offshore Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Great trip! They asked what we wanted to do, to which I replied "catch as many tasty fish as possible", and we did just that catching our limit of red snapper, king fish, a shark, and some baracuda. We spent a ton of time with rods in the water and they made it as exciting as possible for the kids that were in our group.
