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.

In the Halifax and Tomoka Rivers, anglers can find Snook, Redfish, Black Drum, and Tarpon.

In the Atlantic's deeper waters, hard-fighting fish such as Amberjack, Cobia, Kingfish, and Barracuda can be found. For big pelagic species, Mahi Mahi and Kingfish fishing in the Gulf Stream is a must-try.
