Bushbeater Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 We went out on a Marlin trip out of Okracoke, NC. That trip was $375 per person, plus your expected to tip the first mate generously. We caught a limit of Mahi Mahi and you are required to have the official Union fish cleaner prep your catch. It cost 80 bucks to have 2 limits cleaned. We did land a Marlin, about 300# which was released to fight again. I'd definitely do it again. Daryk Campbell Sr, snagged in outlet 3, Greasy B and 1 other 4

Just to clarify... this is for a bay (inshore) trip. Offshore trips are much more expensive especially in Texas since they have to travel a long way to hit deep water.
snagged in outlet 3 Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 I’m booked in April with a guide I’ve used before for red fish in NOLA. $500 clams plus tip for 6am to 1:30 pm with food and fish cleaning. Inshore fly fishing. MOPanfisher and Bushbeater 2
Quillback Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 I had a 17' Whaler Montauk, 90 HP Merc, when I lived in Washington State fished out of that rig for 13 years in the salt, and I fished a lot. Boat was still running when I sold it and moved here. I ran freshwater thought the motor using those ear deals every time I brought it home and rinsed off the (galvanized) trailer. You can use a boat in the salt for a long time, just be diligent in rinsing away that salt. Used to use Penn 209's on my trolling rigs, they are built like tanks, never rinsed them off, they just kept on ticking. snagged in outlet 3 and Johnsfolly 2

Inshore fly fishing. We had a great redfish fishery on the Laguna Madre but I did take a self guided redfish trip to Venice La it was pretty darn good. Good luck, but you probably will not need it down there. Send pics and report. snagged in outlet 3 1
