The most commonly sought after species for deep dropping are: 1. red snapper, 2. mahi mahi, 3. wahoo, 4. sailfish, and 5. blackfin tuna.

How much do deep dropping fishing charters cost?

Prices for deep dropping can range anywhere from about $1,015 to $7,000, but the average price for a half day trip for deep dropping is $2,316. The average price for a full day trip for deep dropping is $3,576.

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 going on a deep dropping charter?

The most popular season to go on a deep dropping charter is summer, and most anglers book their trips 14 days in advance.

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

    Capt Clay is an absolute pro, doesn’t blow smoke up your … he is an honest Capt. And without a doubt he knows these waters. Will definitely be using him any time we make a trip down here. Need to find time to make a November trip here with him. Look him up and give him a try, you will definitely have a chance catching them, even when the bite is tough.
