North Florida Fishing Charters Reviews

Outstanding trip!

North Florida Guides
★★★★★
My husband and I had the pleasure of fishing with Captain Scott on beautiful Rodman Reservoir. We enjoyed the incredible scenery and caught several large bass each. Captain Scott was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us while we fished. He took the time to point out the local wildlife (Bald Eagles and alligators) and ensured we had plenty of opportunity to soak up the surroundings. I highly recommend Captain Scott, and should we find ourselves in the area again, we will definitely book another trip with him.

one of the best crappie fishing experiences I've had in a long time. David is a good guide and teacher if you want to learn something new. I would use him again to do another charter.

Frequent-Asked Questions of North Florida Bass Fishing
What part of North Florida has the best fishing?

North Florida’s most appreciated fishing grounds, and one of the best areas in Florida. Nestled between Jacksonville and Daytona Beach is World Renowned St Johns River, and just east of St Augustine is a famed Rodman Reservoir.

All have the perfect mix of trophy bass and crappie fishing, and boy is it amazing what North Florida offers!

What is the best month to fish in North Florida?

North Florida is unique as it has the warm summer months, but also the very cool winters. This is because summer months bass seems to go deeper and be less active. In the spring and fall, you will find the most activity. The winter months are known for the big spawning bass, but also cold, windy seasonal days. More specifically, the best months are from late February to June (and, some years, even November) are when the weather cools off for an early winter.

What fish are biting in North Florida?
Here are the top North Florida fish to catch.
  • Largemouth bass. Sometimes called the “Black Bass,” the bass is highly prized for its fighting ability but not valued as a great food source.
  • Crappie…Sometimes called the “Speck,” the Crappie is highly prized for its taste and highly valued as a great food source.
  • Bluegill & Redread Panfish…Known as the original fish-eating table food. Simply called “Panfish,” the panfish is also highly prized for its taste and highly valued as a great food source.

 

How much is a 3 day fishing license in Florida?

The freshwater fishing license is available to Florida residents and Nonresidents alike. Anglers must purchase a regular resident or nonresident freshwater fishing license at $17 for three days, $30 for seven days, or $47 for one year, regardless of whether they fish from shore or a vessel.

Do senior citizens need a fishing license in Florida?

Florida residents age 65 or older only need a Florida Driver License or Identification Card to prove residency and age. They are not required to purchase the following recreational licenses and permits: Saltwater fishing, freshwater fishing, and hunting licenses.

Out North Florida fishing guides enforce Florida NonResidents are required to have a license, exceptions are only for full-time Florida residents.

How do people dress for fishing charter?

In layers is best, but fishing is casual. A sundress for ladies with bikini underneath is not uncommon. Khaki shorts for guys is as dressed up as anyone ever gets, long pants work if you’re not using to the sun. In the same vein, there are no “styles.” Get comfortable with whatever dress code is the norm. But always try to wear light colors as they are cooler.
