The most commonly sought after species in Clearwater are: 1. gag grouper, 2. mangrove snapper, 3. redfish, 4. snook, and 5. cobia.

The most common fishing techniques in Clearwater are bottom fishing, live bait fishing, and light tackle fishing but artificial lure fishing and trolling are popular as well.

How much do Clearwater fishing charters cost?

Prices in Clearwater can range anywhere from about $500 to $2,200, but the average price for a half day trip in Clearwater is $680. The average price for a full day trip in Clearwater is $1,324.

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.

Clearwater Fishing Charter Overview

Clearwater, Florida is a prime destination for fishing enthusiasts, offering a diverse range of fisheries that are both abundant and rich. Inshore waters are home to a variety of popular species, including Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, and Spotted Seatrout, while nearshore waters boast excellent Cobia, Mackerel, Black Seabass, Snapper, and Grouper bite. For those seeking offshore superstars, bottom fishing for Grouper, Red Snapper, Hogfish, and Amberjack is available 20-70 miles from land, while trolling for Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Sailfish is also an option. Clearwater offers both shared and private nearshore/offshore trips, as well as half-day inshore excursions for families. Fishing tournaments, such as the semi-annual "King of the Beach" and Loop Billfish Tournament, are also popular in Clearwater. Anglers should be aware of local regulations and licensing requirements when fishing solo.

Inshore Fishing Clearwater

For any angler, just looking at a map of Clearwater will cause excitement. For inshore anglers, however, Clearwater is a very special place. The biodiverse inshore waters are home to many bucket list species. In the spring and summer months Tarpon swing by on their southbound migration. They are accompanied by ambushing Snook and Redfish moving into the warmer bay waters. As the waters cool down, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Grouper species can be expected. Fish the best Clearwater fishing spots like Caladesi Island and Honeymoon Island or cruise the bays, backwaters, and bayous for mangrove monsters. Regardless of the time of year, your Clearwater fishing charter will ensure that you stay on the bite!

Nearshore and Deep Sea Fishing Charters

Clearwater's deep sea fishing is not to be overlooked. Much like inshore fishing, seasonality is not an issue: the fish are biting all year, but target species typically change with the season. Depending on which species are in season, various species of Snapper, Grouper, Shark and Tuna can be expected.

When the fall months come around and the water temperature begins cooling, schools of baitfish head south for warmer waters. Trailing behind them are Kingfish, the prize jewel of Clearwater fishing. These streamlined predators are often likened to a torpedo because of their shape and speed. Kingfish can be found in large numbers corralling baitfish in shallow structure, along the shore, or prowling around deep water wrecks for their next meal. Trolling bait fish tends to be the most productive technique for catching these beasts.

Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

  • ★★★★★
    The fish hawk was an outstanding charter and Captain Brian and mate were very professional and worked hard to fill the fish box. As soon as the bite slowed on a spot, we packed up and headed to another spot. We caught fish all day long. We had 6 people fishing on the boat and I know that takes a lot of effort from the crew and they both helped all day long baiting hooks, taking fish off, and tying lines,,,,I highly recommend them and wil no doubt book again with these guys

    Heather, we feel you are very fortunate to have people like DJ and Tyler working with you. They were absolutely amazing and instrumental in making this fishing trip with our granddaughters a "REEL SUCCESS"!

    Captain Heather sent my wife and I and our two granddaughters out for a 6 hour combination trolling and bottom fishing trip with Captain DJ and Tyler. We can't say enough about how enjoyable it was. Both DJ and Tyler were fantastic guys to be around and put us on plenty of fish, both trolling and bottom fishing. It was very impressive to watch them as a team work to keep our granddaughters busy reeling in fish. They made every aspect of the trip friendly, comfortable and fun. It was all we had hoped to experience. Many thanks to Heather, DJ, Tyler and Captain Experiences.

    We had an amazing time, didn’t get on the fish like we had hoped but still had a blast. That’s why they call it fishing.

    Todd D. with Nick H. of Clearwater, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Christopher provided an exceptional fishing experience! As an army veteran and seasoned fisherman, his expertise was evident from the moment we set sail. My brother-in-law and I enjoyed a fantastic day in the bay near Tampa, reeling in trout under clear skies. Christopher's attention to detail and care extended beyond fishing – he even offered me water when I started feeling dehydrated. We had a blast and highly recommend Christopher for anyone looking.
