What types of hogfish fishing charters are common?

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

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

How much do hogfish fishing charters cost?

Prices for hogfish can range anywhere from about $801 to $5,000, but the average price for a half day trip for hogfish is $1,917. The average price for a full day trip for hogfish is $2,976.

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 hogfish fishing?

The most popular season for hogfish fishing is spring, and most anglers book their trips 26 days in advance.

Do I need a fishing license for hogfish and what are the bag limits for hogfish?

See here for more information on hogfish fishing licenses, hogfish bag limits, and fishing season regulations for hogfish. When in doubt, your fishing guide will always know the right hogfish rules and regulations.

    Our Captain was Zack and First Mate was Ty. They were great! They were attentive to the kids and adults alike. Really cool guys to be around. We would definitely fish with them again!

    Trip: Clearwater Fishing Thriller!

  • ★★★★★
    Gage was great, got us on some fish and even made a switch up for us to go for some bigger fish. Ton of amberjacks, barracuda, and a big Goliath grouper. Then took us to get some good eating fish. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a charter in Tampa, we ended up doing the 6hr trip 30 miles off shore. To clarify, this 4hr trip is NOT for Goliath grouper or other big fish. So if you want to go for a good fight let Gage know and he will get you on some fish.

    Trip: 8 Hours Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    My buddys and I did a 4 hour afternoon offshore charter with Brad. We had a blast and caught more than enough fish for dinner that day. We also each got the exhilarating experience of fighting and landing a big fish! Brad knew what he was doing and was able to make sure we caught a lot of fish. We would definitely recommend Brad!
