What types of permit fishing charters are common in Florida?

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

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

How much do Florida permit fishing charters cost?

Prices for permit in Florida can range anywhere from about $675 to $2,600, but the average price for a half day trip for permit in Florida is $1,075. The average price for a full day trip for permit in Florida is $1,695.

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 permit fishing in Florida?

The most popular season for permit fishing in Florida is spring, and most anglers book their trips 16 days in advance.

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

See here for more information on fishing licenses in Florida, bag limits for target species, and fishing season regulations in Florida. When in doubt, your guide will always know all the relevant rules and regulations in Florida.

    GW is the man! My wife and I booked a fly fishing / spin fishing trip. He had us on fish all day long, and went out of his way to make sure we had the absolute best time we could! He asked us ahead of time what we wanted to target, how we wanted to fish, etc and incorporated all of it into the trip. His knowledge of the area and the fish are impressive as well. We'll 100% book with him again when we visit next time!

    Trip: Inshore/Nearshore Fishing 4-8 Hours

  • ★★★★★
    Our trip with Aaron was enjoyable even with the choppy waters. Aaron’s boat was extremely clean and we felt safe aboard. He had radar/fish finder there to help pick a spot and dropped in some bait to entice the fish. He helped bait hooks for us which was very appreciated even by our more experienced angler. We caught mostly yellowtail and they were fun to reel in. Lines were snapped by some bigger fish so we’ll always tell the stories of the ones that got away! Thanks for helping make the trip happen.
