The most common fishing techniques are bottom fishing, trolling, 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 39 days in advance.

    We went into this excursion with a "whatever" mentality, believing that even a bad day fishing is better than doing anything else. This crew worked hard! Put us on the fish and made it all so easy. Great communication before and during the trip too. Fun day with Grandpa, two dads and three little girls learning the joy of fishing. Crew very attuned that we had kids and really worked hard to pay them special attention and make sure they enjoyed the day. We would charter these guys again.

    Trip: Marathon Premier Bottom Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time fishing. The boat was amazing and the captain and his mate lots of fun and made our entire trip enjoyable. I strongly recommend using this charter service. They kept us in the loop from the moment we made our reservation.

    Trip: 6 Hour Offshore Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Paul and first mate Gary worked hard all day on our 8 hour trip offshore. Targeting Blackfin Tuna, Mackerel and Sailfish all day and keeping us over the fish with consistent bites. Would definitely recommend to anybody who wants a good experience offshore and will hopefully be back again in the future.
