What types of wading charters are common in Florida?

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

The most commonly sought after species for wading in Florida are: 1. redfish, 2. snook, 3. speckled trout, 4. tarpon, and 5. black drum.

How much do Florida wading fishing charters cost?

Prices for wading in Florida can range anywhere from about $450 to $2,350, but the average price for a half day trip for wading in Florida is $791. The average price for a full day trip for wading in Florida is $1,744.

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 on a wading charter in Florida?

The most popular season to go on a wading charter in Florida is spring, and most anglers book their trips 25 days in advance.

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

    Stephen was an excellent guide. He helped my 11 year old son find different places to cast and even walked him into some deeper water to cast, which was exciting! He was prepared and very pleasant.
