Specialty Fishing Guides

Besides the main types of fishing guides we have mentioned, there are many specialty guides for those special trips, especially for the seasoned fisherman. Here are just a few of those.

 

·        Ice Fishing: The northern United States, Canada, and Alaska, along with other international destinations, are popular for ice fishing. In ice fishing, the fisherman cuts a hole in a piece of ice and fishes in the water underneath. Ice fishing guides are usually available for a lesser cost than regular guides (around $250 to $300 for an entire day, domestically), and most ice fishing guides are willing to provide equipment and lessons.

·        The Great Barrier Reef: Fishing guides are available in Australia for fishing the Great Barrier Reef. Fishing this beautiful area in the Eastern Hemisphere not only allows for some incredible sightseeing, but also will give the fisherman the opportunity to catch fish that are otherwise difficult to find. Reef-dwelling fish are also known to be some of the most delicious. Guides for fishing off the Great Barrier Reef are available for surprisingly reasonable costs, starting from $180 per person. Like most other guides, they generally provide equipment, tackle, and assistance in fishing.

·        DeepSea Fishing: Deep sea fishing is different from standard salt water fishing. Technically speaking, the “deep sea” is the portion of the ocean that is so deep that the sun’s light does not reach it. There are some fishing guides that specialize in fishing this portion of the seas. The fish that you could catch on these charters would include tarpon, marlin, tuna, and shark, among many others, and would generally be larger in size than those you would catch in standard salt water. Again, Florida is the most popular state for deep sea fishing, but this type of fishing is also available in many international locations. The cost for a deep sea fishing guide is anywhere from $350 to $800 per day, again depending on the amenities and services you choose. These guides will assist you in the techniques of fishing the deep sea, and, like most others, provide equipment and tackle. You should be aware that deep sea fishing often causes seasickness, and does so much more frequently than other types of fishing.
