What types of blue shark fishing charters are common?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for blue shark as well as nearshore fishing and inshore fishing.

The most common fishing techniques are heavy tackle fishing, bottom fishing, and trolling but live bait fishing and light tackle fishing are popular as well.

How much do blue shark fishing charters cost?

Prices for blue shark can range anywhere from about $1,500 to $8,937, but the average price for a half day trip for blue shark is $2,765. The average price for a full day trip for blue shark is $4,726.

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 blue shark fishing?

The most popular season for blue shark fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 21 days in advance.

    Gulf was a little cold for the shark bite, but the spanish mackerel were jumping all over! Captain John was great at communicating his plans leading up to the trip and made it his mission to make sure we caught plenty of fish and more importantly have fun! Would definitely book with Captain John again, and hope to again when we make it back to Florida!

    On August 1st. My 15 year old son and I went out with Captain John John on a 3 hour shark trip. We caught 9 sharks and multiple other fish. We had a great time. Captain John John works hard and knows what he’s doing. He was very safety conscious and I would absolutely recommend him. Hopefully we will be able to catch up with him on our next trip.

    Great time Capt. Larry and Justin were very helpful. We had several rookies in our group and Justin helped get them started. They made sure we had plenty of time to fish.

    Disappointing! They did not get one bite the whole time. I was hoping for a small refund of some kind. The boys had looked forward to this and to not see a shark or get a bite really let them down. Would love to try again next year.
