What types of ladyfish fishing charters are common?

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

The most common fishing techniques are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and artificial lure fishing but bottom fishing and cut bait fishing are popular as well.

How much do ladyfish fishing charters cost?

Prices for ladyfish can range anywhere from about $435 to $1,500, but the average price for a half day trip for ladyfish is $694. The average price for a full day trip for ladyfish is $1,203.

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 ladyfish fishing?

The most popular season for ladyfish fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 33 days in advance.

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

    We had a great trip with Corey. In spite of strong winds forcing us to less productive areas, we caught 6 assorted keepers - including a couple of 25" reds - and released a bunch more. Corey was very friendly and accommodating, and his boat was very comfortable and well equipped.

    If you’re looking to have the BEST time fishing in Destin. Captain Dave is the ONLY choice. Best fishing experience I’ve ever had. It was tough fishing and very windy and he still managed to get us on fish and I caught my personal best redfish. Dave is a character and that made the trip so much better. Loved every second of it. Wish I had booked a longer trip! I’ll be back next year and I’m only booking with Dave again. Planning to go out multiple days next year with him. Couldn’t recommend his charter enough.

    Don was awesome! we had a 4 and 7 year olds and he was very attentive to both. he wasn't overbearing like some captions and let us fish, but was on it if someone needed help. If you have kids and want to finish I highly recommend this charter!
