Fishing Charters in Somerset

3 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Fishing charters put you on the water with a licensed captain, a rigged boat and local knowledge of where the fish are running. The market splits by trip length and water: an inshore or half-day trip commonly runs about $400-600 for the boat, while an offshore or full-day deep-sea trip lands closer to $1,000-2,000. Most captains price by the boat rather than per person, so a group of four splits the cost, and many include rods, reels, bait and tackle - always ask what is covered and what you bring. Rates vary by port, season and target species, so compare a couple of operators and confirm trip details, pricing and availability directly with the operator before you book.

How do I choose a fishing charter? +

How much does a fishing guide cost in Somerset? +
Guided trips on Lake Cumberland typically run about $350-$600, depending on whether you book a half-day or full day and a shared seat or a private boat, with live-bait striper trips at the upper end. Confirm the price, number of anglers and what the guide provides before you book.
What can you catch around Lake Cumberland? +
The headliner is trophy striped bass, fished mostly on live shad and trout, alongside largemouth and smallmouth bass and walleye on the main lake. Below Wolf Creek Dam, the Cumberland River tailwater holds wild brown and stocked rainbow trout. Tell the guide whether you want stripers on the lake or trout on the river.
Are the striper trips live-bait or artificial? +
Most Cumberland striper guides specialize in live bait, pulling gizzard shad and rainbow trout on downlines and planer boards over deep, clear water to tempt the biggest linesides. Some also throw artificials when fish school on top. Ask your operator how they run the trip and whether bait is included.
