trip description for 3-Hour Kids Fun Trip in Destin

Take your kids out on the water and get them hooked on fishing! Captain Mike will teach them how to fish in the calm waters of Choctawhatchee Bay and maybe even the gulf on days where it isn't too choppy. This is mainly a catch and release trip but if you catch something worth eating, Captain Mike will filet it and let you take it home for dinner! On this easygoing trip, your little ones will be targeting Black Drum, Flounder, Redfish, Sheepshead, and Speckled Trout. Captain Mike primarily uses live bait, but he can easily accommodate fly and artificial fishermen as well. These fish are perfect for beginners and will provide a captivating fishing experience for kids! If you don’t want to keep the fish, Captain Mike is experienced in CPR fishing – “Catch, Photo, Release”. This way, you’ll ensure you do minimal harm to the fish you catch, which will then be safely released back into its natural habitat. From the first-time angler to the skilled professional, Captain Mike will do his best to keep you on the fish and put a smile on your face. Don't forget to bring your favorite snacks, drinks, and a tip for your guide. All the fishing equipment for your group is provided by the Captain, along with fishing licenses for all occupants of the boat. Book your trip and Captain Mike will take care of the rest! Read More

What types of ladyfish fishing charters are common in Florida?

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

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

How much do Florida ladyfish fishing charters cost?

Prices for ladyfish in Florida can range anywhere from about $400 to $1,100, but the average price for a half day trip for ladyfish in Florida is $603. The average price for a full day trip for ladyfish in Florida is $971.

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 ladyfish fishing in Florida?

The most popular season for ladyfish fishing in Florida is summer, and most anglers book their trips 15 days in advance.

Do I need a Florida fishing license for ladyfish and what are the bag limits for ladyfish in Florida?

    Captain Richard was knowledgeable, patient, and generous with his time. Our group was able to catch several fish, and had to opportunities to see lots of wildlife including sharks, rays, and a school of large tarpon. I certainly recommend this experience!

    Captain Todd is a wonderful fishing guide! My daughter and I chose the sunset fishing excursion and we’re not disappointed! Not only did we get to fish in great spots, we also were cool and comfortable on a beautiful evening. We highly recommend this experience. The memories we made will last us a lifetime. She caught her first salt water fish, and I was excited to see her excitement. The dolphins I saw up close were amazing! Thanks again, Todd!

    We had a great day on the water with Richard who is a knowledgeable and experienced fly-fishing guide. I highly recommend spending a day or two with him!

    Greg S. with Richard M. of Gulf Breeze, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    We were looking for a different kind of fishing trip and found it - we loved the surf fishing experience with Capt Max! He is a professional in every sense - he reached out to ensure we knew what to expect and where to meet. The beach location was easy to find & park and he had chairs & water waiting for us. Capt Max is very personable - loved hearing his story! The surf was very rough so we didn’t have high expectations, but Capt Max worked hard to find fish! We caught three nice pompano which he cleaned for us on the beach (they were delicious by the way!). Plus, we were treated to a beautiful sunset! What’s not to love?! No early morning, no bouncing around on a boat, spending time on the beach, great sunset, and a tasty dinner - perfect start to a beach vacay! Can’t wait to do it again and a big thank you to Capt Max!

    Steven K. with Max A. of Panama City Beach, Florida

  • ★★★★★

    Denise M. with Rio S. of Melbourne Beach, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Had a great day fishing with Captain Brandon. We caught a lot of fish, including barracuda, snapper, nurse and lemon shark. Brandon kept moving around to ensure that we stayed on the fish. We've fished with a number of guides over the years and Brandon was one of the best!

    Michael B. with Brandon S. of Summerland Key, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Brandon was fantastic. We went out on the coldest day of January, 2024 and we still caught fish. Brandon is extremely knowledgeable of the area and how to fish it, informative and extremely patient, especially with a beginning like me. I couldn’t have been happier the way the day turned out. I caught some beautiful Snapper for dinner and then some Barracuda and Sharks for sport. I highly recommend his services and he would be my first choice on a return trip to the Keys. Thank you, Mark Maynard
