re: Do you bring your own gear on a charter?

Do you think maybe they thought it was extra to use your gear? I wouldn’t doubt that. First time for them? If their gear was that bad, they were likely inexperienced.
I’ve brought my own gear on party boats, but that’s a little different.

I usually do but most of the time I’m more outfitted than the guide (not necessarily proud of that lol). I fished with one guide in Venice who insisted I didn’t bring my own gear. I convinced him to let me bring a rod so I can fish some swim baits on jigs. All he had was popping corks.
We ended up fishing for some redfish against some rocks and, as someone who is not a fan of redfish, I started casting my jig off the back of the boat in some deeper water. We proceeded to start catching specks almost every cast off the back of the boat. We came back with 44 specks and all but maybe 4 came from a jig. Thankful I brought it that day.
I’ve also fished with a guide in Jacksonville who had top of the line g loomis rods and custom hard baits. His gear clearly out fished mine. So, I guess it depends.
