Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for roosterfish as well as deep sea fishing, nearshore fishing, and inshore fishing.

The most common fishing techniques are heavy tackle fishing, jigging, and light tackle fishing but trolling and drift fishing are popular as well.

How much do roosterfish fishing charters cost?

Prices for roosterfish can range anywhere from about $760 to $3,500, but the average price for a half day trip for roosterfish is $1,396. The average price for a full day trip for roosterfish is $2,805.

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 roosterfish fishing?

The most popular season for roosterfish fishing is spring, and most anglers book their trips 19 days in advance.

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

    What can I say, that day the water was very ruff and we caught two Wahoo fish one 60 pounds and one 50. The crew was amazing from the food to helping us with moving about the boat too recovering the fish. Definitely my best fishing trip experience I have had. Will definitely go back and charter with Blue sky.

    Trip: Cabo Trophy Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    In that I run several hundred charters a year myself I'm pretty sure I understand the difference between a good and a bad day on the water. I went out with Captain Poncho three days in a row and I will summarize all three in this one write up. First of all, these guys can and do catch fish. That they do it without particularly good equipment and virtually no electronics (one boat had a VHF and a GPS/no transducer, another , the panga, didn't have either.), says to me that the fishing is pretty good! On day one my wife was out and we stayed in a lee so she wouldn't get sea sick. The sierra mackerel bite was pretty much non stop and we had our limit in pretty short order. We tried jigging in deeper water but no one was home but on the way back towards the fleet we saw some bait and stopped off for a crazy jack crevalle bite that would have lasted far longer than my arms could take! They were blasting surface plugs in spectacular fashion but would have hit anything you threw at them, they were quite aggressive, We also got a few small skipjacks and small grouper (released) as well. Made Mackerel cevechi for dinner. On day 2 my wife stayed at the apartment and Poncho and I went out in a panga. He used land ranges to put up on a shelf in about 150 ft of water to the east of the marina by about 10 miles. It was pretty windy and rough for that little boat but there were a couple of crazy commercial handliners in the same area in an even smaller boat! We had a few bonito and then Captain Poncho jigged a nice red snapper before I nailed a 55 pound AJ on a Squidtrex with a 25 pound flurocarbon leader. AJ Steaks for dinner was a lot like swordfish. Day 3 Captain Poncho had the center console again and my wife was with us. We went to "the mackerel area" again and we were getting them quite steadily even though there was no live bait available and we were using frozen stuff. It didn't seem to matter to the fish. While drifting for the mackerel I jigged a soft plastic near the bottom (50-60 ft) and got several large sculpins, a couple of triggerfish and a bonito. Kept only the bonito for fish tacos. All in all it was a great trip well taken care of by good people. My only suggestion would be to bring good tackle if you have it.
