Charter Prices VS D.I.Y.

Fishing charter prices are often looked at as being high priced. When you take the time to break down the actual bill though, you usually find that you're saving quite a bit of money going with a professional company. (See Chart Below)

The chart below dictates the average area pricing on a small (under 20ft) skiff on short range (gas included!) trips. Long range trips do not include gas which can significantly impact the billing. Not to mention all of the top of the line gear all of our charter companies offer; which would send this bill skyrocketing into the thousands easily.

At the end of the day the single most important necessity of a productive day on the water is the knowledge of its Captain, an ability not easily recreated in a do-it-yourself fashion.

Note to Our Viewers..

Your captain and mate are there to help you land whatever fish you hook! This coaching includes really important tips but sometimes they may seem very basic! Either way you should ALWAYS listen to what they are telling you!

Their toning scale, whether it be normal or high pitched is reflective of whatever your catch may be. The higher the pitch, the better the fish. Never mistake this for anger or frustration- it is excitement in action mixed with the fiery determination that embodies most of our seasoned fisherman who are experts at boxing fish.

You should also note that not every trip is spectacular, not every haul is noteworthy, and sometimes despite our Captains best efforts a trip does not pan out as expected. Such is the game of fishing; we all win some & we ALL lose some! At the end of the day everyone must realize you are at the whim of the bite, the weather, how far you decided to go out, and a variety of other conditions that directly decide the fate of your trip!

I would like to remind everyone of our #1 rule, approach everything with kindness & respectfulness, this rule is fully enforced to the absolute highest standards on our network.
