Every, and I do mean, every charter boat I've ever been on for ocean fishing or gulf fishing has been a complete and utter ripoff. You pay twice as much as you would for a bass guide, catch about 1/2 as many fish, and the fish you DO end up catching are caught on tackle so heavy that it's no fight. Save you cash and hire a bass guide.

This is purely my opinion. Maybe I've just been unlucky.
