What types of permit fishing charters are common?
Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for permit as well as inshore fishing, nearshore fishing, and flats fishing.
The most common fishing techniques are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and artificial lure fishing but bottom fishing and fly fishing are popular as well.
How much do permit fishing charters cost?
Prices for permit can range anywhere from about $600 to $2,400, but the average price for a half day trip for permit is $978. The average price for a full day trip for permit is $1,520.
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 permit fishing?
The most popular season for permit fishing is spring, and most anglers book their trips 25 days in advance.
Do I need a fishing license for permit and what are the bag limits for permit?
See here for more information on permit fishing licenses, permit bag limits, and fishing season regulations for permit. When in doubt, your fishing guide will always know the right permit rules and regulations.
