The most commonly sought after species in Florida are: 1. kingfish, 2. redfish, 3. mangrove snapper, 4. mahi mahi, and 5. gag grouper.
The most common fishing techniques in Florida are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and bottom fishing but trolling and artificial lure fishing are popular as well.
How much do Florida fishing charters cost?
Prices in Florida can range anywhere from about $550 to $5,040, but the average price for a half day trip in Florida is $1,348. The average price for a full day trip in Florida is $2,808.
Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?
Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.
Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.
Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.
Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.
What month is best for fishing in Florida?
The most popular season for fishing in Florida is summer, and most anglers book their trips 26 days in advance.
Do I need a Florida fishing license and what are the bag limits in Florida?
See here for more information on fishing licenses in Florida, bag limits for target species, and fishing season regulations in Florida. When in doubt, your fishing guide will always know the right rules and regulations in Florida.
