Types of Florida Guided Fishing Trips

Salt Water (Off-Shore)

Florida off-shore charter boat captains offer deep sea fishing trips off the Atlantic and Gulf coast.  An off-shore fishing charter take 1-6 people or more out for good times creating memories of the “catch of a lifetime”.  Troll for sailfish or marlin, use live bait for tuna, bottom fish a drop off, or target the many species off a shipwreck.  Florida deep sea charters offer a trip to satisfy any angler.

Salt Water (In-Shore)

Florida in-shore charter boat captains usually fish out of smaller boats that hold 1-3 anglers. These fishing charters generally fish calm protected waters on the flats of the Keys, in protected bays or docks, and throughout the canals of Florida’s coastline.  In-shore salt water guides regularly catch over 100 species ranging from gigantic tarpon to the popular redfish.

General Inland

Florida’s freshwater fishing guides generally fish out of smaller boats and take 1-3 anglers out at a time.  These fishing guides are located throughout the state fishing Florida’s famed lakes, river, canals, and the Florida Everglades.  Florida fishing guides catch giant largemouth bass, exotic peacock bass, or just about any fish swimming in this fishing paradise!

Fly Fishing

Florida fly fishing guides offer guided fishing trips in fresh and salt water and offer opportunities to catch diverse range of species.  Fly fishing guides are located throughout the state on any body of water but fly fishing from a flats boat with a guide using a push pole is an experience second to none.  Bonefish and tarpon are popular targets.  Florida fly fishing guides can help teach a beginner to cast a fly rod or help a seasoned fly fisherman locate more fish.
