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

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

How much do sheepshead fishing charters cost?

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 sheepshead fishing?

The most popular season for sheepshead fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 8 days in advance.

    My family had a great time fishing with Captain Kevin! He seems very knowledgeable about the area and we had some great catches! He taught my six year old how to cast and showed my two year old the bait and fish they caught. We stopped to get some shells for my little one to throw into the water too. He was awesome baiting our lines and taking fish off! We had a great time! Thank you Captain Kevin!!

    Trip: Crystal River Near And Inshore

  • ★★★★★
    First and foremost, DJ is a great guy! We booked a 6 hour trip with him to hopefully have a chance at snook and redfish. Leading up to the trip, DJ communicated very well about where to meet and was flexible with the time to meet so we had the best chance at fish. On the water he worked hard to get us on fish and was very knowledgeable and personable. The bite was a bit tough due to the recent cold snap that hit Florida, however, he still put us on the fish and gave us solid opportunities at landing trophy snook and reds. We had a blast fishing with him, very much would recommend him for your fishing adventures in the St Petersburg/Tampa area!
