What types of trolling charters are common?

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

The most commonly sought after species for trolling are: 1. kingfish, 2. mahi mahi, 3. cobia, 4. amberjack, and 5. gag grouper.

How much do trolling fishing charters cost?

Prices for trolling can range anywhere from about $650 to $3,402, but the average price for a half day trip for trolling is $1,180. The average price for a full day trip for trolling is $2,882.

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 trolling charter?

The most popular season to go on a trolling charter is summer, and most anglers book their trips 31 days in advance.

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

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

    Shrimping with Captain Daryl was an excellent experience. Daryl went out of his way to make sure we had an enjoyable experience. He provided us with everything we needed to catch the shrimp. This was a GREAT EXPERIENCE, Captain Daryl is top notch and I highly recommend using him for your future trips.

    Trip: Shrimp Trawling Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    Outstanding tour! I learned quite a bit from Daryl. From beginning to end, I got some "hands-on" experience on what it's like to catch shrimp. I will not ever forget it. This tour is a definite must for everyone that wants to learn about the art of shrimping. This event gave me more appreciation of the hard work the men and women do daily in shrimping!
