Questions about fishing charters in Old Miakka

How much does it cost to go deep sea fishing in Old Miakka?

29 Old Miakka charters publish a full day rate on their own site, and they run $900 to $2,000 for the whole boat, with the middle of the range at $1,500. That is the boat for the day, not a price per person — split between six anglers a $1,500 trip is about $250 each. Shorter trips cost less; ask the captain, because fewer of them publish those rates.

What happens if it is too windy to go offshore?

Often the trip just moves inshore rather than being called off — 29 of the 89 boats here run both, so a blown-out morning can become a back-country or bay trip. Ask what the captain does with weather, and what the cancellation terms are.

Back-country or offshore — which trip should I book in Old Miakka?

They are different days on different water. 14 charters here list offshore only, 23 list inshore only, and 29 list both. Offshore means a longer run and bigger fish; inshore means calmer water, shorter runs and sight-fishing. The month-by-month table above shows which fish the fleet says are around when you are coming.
