Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for tarpon 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 sight casting and bottom fishing are popular as well.

How much do Florida tarpon 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 tarpon fishing in Florida?

The most popular season for tarpon fishing in Florida is spring, and most anglers book their trips 24 days in advance.

    Great experience with Liam. It was a slow start but ended up catching all kinds of fish!

    Trip: Inshore Fishing Trip 4-6-8 Hour

  • ★★★★★
    We went in-shore fishing. Kelly, our Caption, was AMAZING! We warned him from the beginning that we were beginners. Kelly was very patience with us and knowledgeable of the area. We caught flounder, stingrays, other species we can’t remember and even caught a catfish which topped it off for us since that’s what we catch in Ohio. We can’t forget the snags, that our girls will always remember now as catching “rock fish” as Kelly called them. Kelly also was able to take us where we were able find our first unbroken empty conch shell. We can’t say enough about our amazing experience! We highly recommend!

    My guys had a great time on their fishing trip with Captain Nick! The trip was booked per my 10 year old son’s request, and he was accompanied by his step dad and grandpas. Nick was very pleasant and friendly, experienced, and treated my boy as one of his own. They all had a really great time and learned a lot during their trip. Thanks Captain Nick!

    Jamie was fantastic and very knowledgeable. He knew of all the places where the tarpon bonefish and barracudas would be. My wife and I had an amazing time and would definitely book with him again. Thanks for a great day!
