What types of spanish mackerel fishing charters are common in Florida?

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

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

How much do Florida spanish mackerel 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 spanish mackerel fishing in Florida?

    We had a great trip Taylor!! He was a great captain! We caught LOTS of fish. Super knowledgeable and such a pleasure to be around. We will definitely be calling him when we come back to Florida again. Top notch experience! Caught mackerel, trout, groupers, Jack fish, lady fish, lizard fish, catfish and we saw a dolphin. Thank you for a great experience!

    Trip: Inshore Fishing Charter Bradenton

  • ★★★★★
    Despite not catching anything big enough to keep, Jason made efforts to change locations and lures to give us the best chances. He expertly navigated pop-up storms and kept spirits high with a curated playlist. Even though we lost the "big one" as it snapped an 80-lb test line while darting under the boat, we had a great time and would fish with him again. The inclusion of a toilet on the boat, though small, was invaluable for our party of 4.

    Captain Larry was great! He was patient when we kept getting our bait stolen and also provided helpful tips. This was our first fishing charter and he made it a lot of fun! Highly recommend!

    This was the first time son and I have ever fished saltwater. We have only fished freshwater. Capt. Kent and his wife were the best. We already told Capt. Kent everytime we are here we are booking him. Great time!

    We had the BEST time fishing with Captain Wayne and deck hand/first mate Corey. We caught tons of fish and had the most peaceful boat ride! Corey and Wayne were both the BOMB! Corey was so knowledgeable about the types of fish and was so quick to help and answer questions! Captain Wayne took us the some great fishing holes and made sure that we were safe! The worst part of the trip was when fishing time was over! We will be back!!!!
