What types of sheepshead fishing charters are common in Florida?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for sheepshead 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 sheepshead fishing charters cost?

Prices for sheepshead in Florida can range anywhere from about $500 to $1,505, but the average price for a half day trip for sheepshead in Florida is $748. The average price for a full day trip for sheepshead in Florida is $1,145.

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 sheepshead fishing in Florida?

The most popular season for sheepshead fishing in Florida is summer, and most anglers book their trips 10 days in advance.

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

    We had a great day with Capt Wade, he was very professional and knowledgeable and shared his experiences with us. We caught Snook, Redfish, and Speckled Trout in numbers and size to satisfy our needs until next time. His lunch recommendation to cook our catch was awesome too.

    Trip: 3/4 Day Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Such a great experience! The captain had a great attitude and was really fun. The weather was a little off and very windy, but he still made everything fun. I appreciated his knowledge of the waterways and taking us through some different parts of the inshore areas. It was fun to see the shoreline from the water and we even hooked a few fish despite the weather. The whole group had a fantastic experience and I will be booking with Captain Bill again!

    Amazing day out on the water with captain Greg. Not often you get to fill up the freezer with silver trout AND catch a couple monster redfish. Will be booking with him again next time we go out

    Captain Edwin is the best guide around! His boat is brand new, Triton, newer than the listing shows. He took us straight to the giant grouper, we had fish in the boat within minutes of setting the trolling motor on spot lock. After the grouper bite slowed down, we ran to the mangroves and sight fished snook. He definitely knows what he is doing and didn't act like a smart-ass all day like other guides I've seen in the past. Super laid back and all business with the fish

    It was a great trip. Three of us fished comfortably for a half day. Mother Nature provided the fish, and Nick provided a great atmosphere. Easy to talk to and gave some good local recommendations, will look to book with Nick again in the future.

    Edwin was a great Captain. He was very easy to get along with and very knowledgeable with fishing and where to go to find great fishing spots. He was a pleasure to spend six hours with. I would recommend him to anyone and look forward to seeing him again soon.

    The four of us had a great time fishing with Captain Todd! We did a quick morning trip and it was just enough for all of us to catch a handful of fish. Todd was very knowledgeable and a great guide. Would definitely go again!

    Captain was very nice, he rigged all of the poles and took us to lots of different locations trying to find fish. Used all kinds of bait, gave us pointers, but because of a tropical storm the week before the fish just were not biting.

    Captain Robbie was AWESOME & we had a GREAT time!! Thank y'all!!

    Trip: In or Near Shore Experience

  • ★★★★★
    If you don’t book with Jayson you shouldn’t even come to Destin. You might as well cancel your entire trip if you don’t book with Jayson. I’d rather spend 4 hours fishing with Jayson than 7 days at the beach because I’d spend those 7 days seeing Jayson crash through the waves catching fish as big as a small child. If it ain’t Jay-son I ain’t gonna pay-son!
