What types of lobster fishing charters are common?

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

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

How much do lobster fishing charters cost?

Prices for lobster can range anywhere from about $700 to $2,999, but the average price for a half day trip for lobster is $1,474. The average price for a full day trip for lobster is $2,200.

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 lobster fishing?

The most popular season for lobster fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 30 days in advance.

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

    Great time and good vibes! Captain was an awesome guy and has lived in Big Pine his whole life so he knows all the spots well.

    Trip: 4-6 Hour Spearfishing/Lobster

  • ★★★★★
    We had an absolutely fantastic day out on the water with Tim! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. Tim is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what he does. He made everyone feel comfortable and ensured we were always in the best spots to reel in some great catches. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect—clear skies, calm waters, and just the right breeze to make the day even more enjoyable. It truly felt like the ideal setting for a memorable fishing trip. Tim went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and that we were having a great time. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for a fun day on the water, I can’t recommend a trip with Tim enough. We’ll definitely be booking again! 🎣🌊

    Trip: Red Hot! 🔥 Let's Go Fishing!

  • ★★★★★
    Sheldon and his mate Jake were fantastic! They picked us up on Harbour Island and we cruised over towards Spanish Wells to dive a few traps for lobsters. We had 11 guys and they made sure we were all situated on the boat comfortably - we had plenty of room to lounge when we weren't diving. The spots ranged from 18 feet at the most to 6 feet at the shallowest and our group of rookies had no problem diving down and spearing some lobsters with slings (although it might have helped if we could hold our breath longer!). We hit 6 traps and one in particular had a ton of lobsters so we caught more than enough for a great lunch at Valentine's Marina after getting back. Thank y'all again!
