I am wanting to take my son on his first deep sea fishing experience this weekend. I don't have several hundred dollars to go, however. Last time I went, several years ago, it was only about $150 a person. Everything I have seen so far is looking like $250 or more per person. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've heard some say that you can take a chance and show up at the docks and see if a charter has any spots open etc.... Ideas? Looking at going this coming Sat morning

The American spirit is the way to go. “Party” (as in group) fishing boat with great mates to help out with kids and beginner fishers. Around $115 + tip. This boat is worth it and will get you some snapper this weekend.
Sweet!! Ill check em out tonight! Whats an appropriate tip?
For you and a child, $40 would suffice. They help out a lot with bait, tangle ups and unhooking your fish. After that they’ll clean up all your fish to be cook-ready.
