Weekend Fishing Charter or Mid Week?

What’s the difference fishing on the weekend. Or a week day you may ask? Firstly I guess it comes down to your work schedule and available time. Not to mention the availability of your local fishing charter operator. Most good charter operators will try to operate every day that that the weather is favourable. Regardless of if its Thursday or Sunday. Furthermore the fish don’t have a preference for feeding on any particular day either. Which is good news for charter skippers and customers alike.
