What types of swordfish fishing charters are common?

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

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

How much do swordfish fishing charters cost?

Prices for swordfish can range anywhere from about $1,374 to $11,500, but the average price for a half day trip for swordfish is $4,128. The average price for a full day trip for swordfish is $4,792.

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 swordfish fishing?

The most popular season for swordfish fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 15 days in advance.

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

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

    Trip: Fort Lauderdale Sportfishing

  • ★★★★★
    We had a nice time with Taylor. Wish we could have caught more fish. We got one conus that we had to release. My husband is a very experienced fisherman and I believe if we would have gone to deeper waters it would of been more of a success, but still a good rime
