The most commonly sought after species in Hillsboro Beach are: 1. mahi mahi, 2. kingfish, 3. sailfish, 4. wahoo, and 5. blackfin tuna.

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

How much do Hillsboro Beach 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 fishing in Hillsboro Beach?

    We had a great day with Captain Justin. He communicated clearly well in advance, showed up exactly on time, and keeps his boat and gear in great condition. After a brief safety briefing and a few practice shots, we were off. Justin kept it fun the whole day and best of all, put us on the iguanas. We would do it again. Thanks!

    We had a wonderful time with Edmond. He was very prepared for the trip and he did his best to make sure we had every opportunity to catch fish. The bite was tough to get today and we had a few hits that slipped the hook. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed ourselves. I would go with him again.

    Capt Brian was fantastic. I took my two boys and we caught fish all day. Five different species of fish including 2 big clown knife fish. Capt was professional, knowledgeable and had everything we needed on the boat for a great day of fishing. I strongly recommend Capt Brian for a great day on the water.

    Trip: Peacock Bass Trophy Hunt

  • ★★★★★
    I go on several fishing and hunting charters a year. This one has me counting the days until we go again. The cast and blast is a perfect split day balance without getting burned out on one species. Justin is an excellent guide with great personality and patience (I’ve found that rare with most captains). Puts us on the game and wife had a great time!

    Jusin was able to put together a great Cast and Blast trip for us.  He does work very hard to put together a good trip.  Fishing for Peacocks, he did make several moves to various spots and successfully put us on fish.  Hunting for iguanas, again he was able to put us on them for a total of 25 iguanas.  Lunch was very good, and along with good weather made for a really good trip, would definitely recommend.

    Our trip for Peacock bass with Captain Carlos was one of the best we've been on. He is very knowledgeable and extremely efficient when it comes to keeping bait on your hook and the boat just where it needs to be. We will definitely be using his services again!

    We could have brought home 50+ iguanas if we could hit the broadside of a barn! These folks will put you in the middle of them, all you need to do is be able to shoot!! This was our first trip ever and our expectations were far exceeded.

    Captain Bill is exactly what a guide should be. He was professional, funny, knowledgeable and I felt like I had known him for years. I had two first time hunters with me that had an amazing and safe time. He put us in a game rich environment where we were very successful! Thanks

    Trip: Iguana Hunts Delray Beach

  • ★★★★★
    The trip was excellent. Kassie was very helpful in finding the iguanas as we had a hard time seeing them in the beginning. She was great with communication before the trip as well. Lots of cold drinks and a great flat bottom boat making it easier to aim and provided a smoother ride. I highly recommend. We will be using her in the future for other trips. Maybe a hog hunt with her next time
