What types of wading charters are common?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for wading as well as inshore fishing, flats fishing, and river fishing.

The most commonly sought after species for wading are: 1. redfish, 2. speckled trout, 3. flounder, 4. black drum, and 5. sheepshead.

How much do wading fishing charters cost?

Prices for wading can range anywhere from about $496 to $1,800, but the average price for a half day trip for wading is $795. The average price for a full day trip for wading is $1,607.

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 wading charter?

The most popular season to go on a wading charter is summer, and most anglers book their trips 36 days in advance.

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

    Phenomenal guide. Onsite inside of 30 minutes and limited out on trout in under an hour and a half for 4 guys. Good company and great on board music. Definitely recommend and will be booking again.

    Trip: Bay Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Jorge was great. He got us on the fish fast. I think we hit our limit on trout in less than an hour. It wasn’t the best day for fishing, but Jorge tried all day! He had a clean, good running boat and did a great job cleaning our fish too! I would definitely call him as a guide again.

    My son and I had a great time with Roland. We did the Inshore charter and were catching fish from the first cast. Took home some nice speckled trout. Looking forward another charter with Roland.

    Trip: Inshore Fishing Charter Cape Coral

  • ★★★★★
    We had a large party so Captain Wesley recruited Captain David to help us out. They were both very nice and accommodative. One boat limited out on redfish and the other caught four keepers! Everyone had a good time. Overall great experience. Looking forward to the next trip.
