What types of permit fishing charters are common in Palmetto?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for permit in Palmetto as well as nearshore fishing.

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

How much do Palmetto permit 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.

    Such a fun trip! We had a great time.

    Trip: Inshore/Nearshore Fishing 4-8 Hours

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time out on the water with Captain Jerry! He made sure we had ice, water, and plenty of bait. The weather kept us inland a little bit but he was flexible and moved to where the fish were. Our boys were very excited to catch two sharks, two pufferfish, a catfish, and several other types of fish, some of which we were able to keep for dinner. Thanks Captain Jerry!

    We had an amazing time fishing with Capt. Mike today!! Pulled in some nice grouper and red snapper!! Recommend at least a 6 hour trip to pull in big fish! On the way back to shore we had the most comfortable ride sitting in beanbags! Would 100% recommend. Shawn and Christine

    Trip: Sarasota Offshore W/ Capt Mike

  • ★★★★★
    If anyone on this website is looking for a charter offshore in Sarasota, use Captain Mike! He is extremely professional, knows what he's doing and got us on the fish. Traveled out 50+ miles into the Gulf of America for a 3/4 day charter with my friends from Long Island and we started pulling grouper over the gunwales within minutes of dropping lines. No red snapper but had at least 20 grouper and a few nice mango snappers. Oh and a Goliath Grouper that found his way back in the rocks and broke off! That one hurt! If we got him up, I'd have been in the water for a pic. We had a killer time with fish, belly laughs and phenomenal weather. One of the best captains I have ever chartered by far! Seriously, this is your guy! While he still has his accent from Southie, he's a Floridian for sure! Had a great time with tight lines and fair winds!

    Brian was amazing! He was great with our son and we loved the flexibility of the excursion. It was one of the highlights of our trip for sure, and will be great family memories for the future. We have absolutely nothing negative to say - if you’re thinking about booking, do it!
