Complete Guide to Haines City Fishing

Guide To Haines City Fishing

Haines City is a Florida city in Polk County. Haines City, Fl is part of the Lakeland-Winter Haven Metropolitan area and is considered part of the Tampa Bay area. This means anglers visiting Haines city are close to some of the best bass and saltwater fishing in the state. In recent years Haines City has seen explosive growth, primarily because of its easy access to Orlando and Walt Disney World Resort .

New residential areas have developed on the edges of the city. On high ground in the north of the city, Southern Dunes, a golf and country club with both vacation homes and residential homes, was developed between 1995 and 2005.

History

The city was platted in 1885, shortly after the South Florida Railroad reached the area. The city’s first nickname was Clay Cut, but there was no railroad station. It is believed that the inhabitants persuaded the railroad company to build a station by agreeing to rename their city Haines City, to honor a senior railroad official, Colonel Henry Haines.

The early settlers planted citrus groves, and citrus growing and processing became the city’s primary industry. From 1974 to 1986, Circus World, a theme park created by the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, was open just north of Haines City, Fl. After Circus World shut down, Boardwalk and Baseball opened on the same site.

We had a group of 7 and hired two boats. Both groups had a great time!! The group on the one boat were not as excited to go fishing because they are not in to fishing. They had a great time and they want to go again. Next time we are in Florida we will be booking with them again!!

Fishing with Bill

Haines City
★★★★★
Ask for Capt Bill, he was great with younger kids and made the whole experience something to remember. If you want someone who knows what he’s doing, can explain it all, and really engages with you he is the one. When he is setting stuff up or when everyone is just sitting there, he was able to keep everyone entertained and interested on the thrill of the catch.

Saltwater Fishing

Inshore Fishing

Haines City, Fl, is about an hour from Tampa, which has some of the best inshore fishing in the country. Tampa Bay’s waters are full of the most popular coastal sport fish species in Florida, including snook, tarpon, snapper, permit, sharks, and more. The fishing is excellent throughout the year, but summer is the busiest season when snook and tarpon are in abundance.

Fly fishing in the shallow water of the bay is one of the more popular methods here. During the summer, Tampa inshore fishing charters will also run at night to avoid the heat and catch hard-fighting tarpon, snook, and sharks near the dock lights.

Offshore Fishing

Offshore or deep-sea fishing in the beautiful Gulf of Mexico is an experience like no other. Tampa offshore fishing charters have direct access to the numerous reefs and wrecks holding large and tasty fish. Some fishing charters will stay relatively close to the shoreline, while deep-sea reef fishing and other trips will take you many miles out for a true offshore adventure.

Typically, the further offshore you travel, the bigger the fish. The summer season is the best time for anglers after a pelagic trophy fish, usually traveling 60-100 miles offshore. This is the best time for fishing for species such as King Mackerel, Barracuda, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, and others.
