What types of lemon shark fishing charters are common?

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

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

How much do lemon shark fishing charters cost?

Prices for lemon shark can range anywhere from about $550 to $3,600, but the average price for a half day trip for lemon shark is $1,500. The average price for a full day trip for lemon shark is $2,471.

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 lemon shark fishing?

The most popular season for lemon shark fishing is spring, and most anglers book their trips 10 days in advance.

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

    Captain Kenaro was fantastic. We will definitely book with him again. Safe and fun experience. Ended with delicious fish fileted by Captain Kenaro and a great recommendation of a catch and cook restaurant.

    Trip: Key West Fishing Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    I bought a shark fishing trip with Captain Jack for my son and grandson. They had an absolute riot. I received text after text about how much fun they were having and what they were catching. My son could not believe how quickly Jack caught bait fish for their adventure. And 20 minutes in my son caught his first shark. Shortly after my grandson reeled one in. And boom, another one. In total they caught 4 sharks, one was a 4ft nurse shark. My grandson is still talking about his 4ft'r. After that they focused on Red Snapper, reeling in four. My son also caught a few cat fish. My grandson said it was better than Disney and all he wants to do on life is live in Florida and catch fish. Captain Jack was fantastic. He knew where to go, what to do and passed along a lot of fish knowledge. We highly recommend him. 10 out of 10.
