Important Charter Info for S. Florida
Unfortunately, there is a new trend with new/inexperienced guides using online booking agencies to book trips. We are seeing them paying 25-35% per trip to the booking service.
and also pricing the charter too low to begin with. What this equates to for the client is most likely going to be a Capt that cannot afford to go the extra mile for you, maintain their equipment or vessels. Professional independent guides are actually pretty affordable in comparison and will work harder to make your day enjoyable. I strongly urge anyone considering booking a fishing charter in Florida whether its Offshore,Inshore or freshwater to do a little research ahead of time. Im always willing to provide a referral to a professional guide anywhere in the state when asked.
