What types of lobster fishing charters are common in Florida?

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

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

How much do Florida lobster 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 lobster fishing in Florida?

The most popular season for lobster fishing in Florida is summer, and most anglers book their trips 30 days in advance.

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

    Trip: 4-6 Hour Spearfishing/Lobster

  • ★★★★★
    Capt Col Hunter was great, he is efficient and laser focused on having a successful trip. He accommodated our needs fantastically, we are not free-divers rather snorkelers trying our hand at lobstering and spear fishing. He found the perfect shallow areas for us to work up on and we had a very successful trip.

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Tim was a great host. He knows the back bays like they are his backyard. Took us to many different spots and we were able to get into same great fish. Tim was also great with my 14, 12, and 7 year old kids. Would call Tim again for a trip next time we are in town.
