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

How much do deep dropping fishing charters cost?

Prices for deep dropping can range anywhere from about $950 to $6,000, but the average price for a half day trip for deep dropping is $2,197. The average price for a full day trip for deep dropping is $3,706.

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 49 days in advance.

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

    We just had a great experience with Jerry and the team. We highly recommend this great outing. We caught so many fish we were sore from reeling them in. Great time. We will be back for sure! Thanks guys

    Trip: Red Snapper Meat Haul

    John did a great job. Circumstances lead to me being the only one to go out on the trip. He adjusted and got me on the fish. Caught multiple tuna ( on my bucket list). Caught multiple mahi (also on my list). Caught a bull that was bigger than I ever expected.

    Trip: Daily Reef Fishing (Shared Trip)

  • ★★★★★
    Hi Everyone, The boat was comfortable and we got some fish. The crew was the best, always there to help. They worked hard and I would very much use the boat and crew again. I enjoy fishing on my boat in Jacksonville but I learned some techniques that were and will be used. Thanks for a great 5 hour of fishing, Chris and his sons.
