We'll teach you how to fish the beaches, inlets, and bays!
At Smooch and Release Fishing Guides, we are passionate about fishing and sharing our knowledge with our clients. We started as a YouTube fishing show in 2009 and have since expanded to become a go-to Striper Fishing Guide for all things surf fishing.
We currently offer Surf Fishing Guided Trips. This may include trips on the open beach or back bays for Striped Bass, Bluefish, Fluke, Blackfish, Albies, and more. The type of fishing will be confirmed through emails after you book your trip.
We will answer any question you have about surf fishing!
Such as:
Recommending rods and reels
Which line should I use?
When do I throw "certain lure" and why?
How can I read the beach in order to fish the best spots and catch more fish?
What knot should I use?
AND MUCH MORE!
50% refunds will be available up until 7 days before the scheduled day of the fishing trip. No refunds will be issued within 7 days of the scheduled trip.
There is no guarantee of catching fish, and no money back for not catching fish during the guided trip.
