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

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

How much do spadefish 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 spadefish fishing?

The most popular season for spadefish fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 16 days in advance.

    Had a great 4 hour trip in Gulf Shores, AL today! The crew was fantastic and took us to some great spots to catch our limit of Red Snapper. Very nice crew, super helpful and the boat was great. Highly recommended!

    We had a great time! I didn’t know rays were so resilient that you could get them with an arrow and the would heal within a few days. Our guide Colby was awesome. He found a bunch of rays for us and helped us after each catch. Hew was awesome!

    Got a late start due to weather conditions. Captain Randy and deck hand kept un informed on conditions, made recommendation of Duck Diner for Breakfast while waiting. They worked hard at getting us where there was fish. All 3 grandsons and us never had a an unwanted hook. Informative and patient with everyone. Thank You Captian and Randy and deckhand Lacey for a memorable fishing trip!
