Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for cobia in Florida as well as nearshore fishing, inshore fishing, and flats fishing.

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

How much do Florida cobia fishing charters cost?

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 cobia fishing in Florida?

The most popular season for cobia fishing in Florida is summer, and most anglers book their trips 13 days in advance.

    Fun trip with Dominic. He was great helping my kids with fishing too!

    We had an excellent 6-hour fishing trip with Captain RJ and Nick. Nick was hands-on with everything, from setting the rods and trolling to helping us reel in fish and expertly managing the kite fishing, which is far more complex than it looks. They work seamlessly as a team. We caught a wahoo right out of the gate, and they filleted it for us and gave great advice on how best to prepare and eat it. Both were courteous, knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. A fantastic experience from start to finish; highly recommend.
