What types of shrimp fishing charters are common?

Inshore fishing is the most popular type of fishing for shrimp as well as nearshore fishing, river fishing, and flats fishing.

The most common fishing techniques are trolling, bottom fishing, and jigging but live bait fishing and cut bait fishing are popular as well.

How much do shrimp fishing charters cost?

Prices for shrimp can range anywhere from about $480 to $1,900, but the average price for a half day trip for shrimp is $852. The average price for a full day trip for shrimp is $1,513.

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 shrimp fishing?

The most popular season for shrimp fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 44 days in advance.

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

See here for more information on shrimp fishing licenses, shrimp bag limits, and fishing season regulations for shrimp. When in doubt, your guide will always know all the relevant shrimp rules and regulations.

    Michael was good, DOUG our captain was amazing! Having a knowledgeable Cpt that knows and says why things are happening and how they are connected to us fishing was great, also helped my nephew win a bet on the Spider-Man pole! Cost me $10 but worth it and kids loved it too! Thanks again Cpt Doug!

    We had a great charter with Allen! He was very knowledgeable, put us in some great spots, and easy to talk to throughout the day. We especially appreciated how kind Allen was to our 10 yr old son and that he took the time to teach him about being on the water during the trip.

    Capt Allen provided a great trip. He put us on fish and was very willing to share some of the vast knowledge he has of saltwater fishing and the fun facts of the area we fished. I highly recommend him for everyone

    Our trip with Captain Jason was the best day ever! We caught a ton of shrimp and even got to see dolphins up close to the boat. Our kids had a blast! We’ve been coming here for years and haven’t had an experience anything like we did today! We will definitely be back again next year!
