Fishing Charter FAQ for Clearwater

What fish can I catch in Clearwater?
Clearwater offers great variety. Inshore trips produce snook, redfish, spotted seatrout, and mangrove snapper. Nearshore reefs yield hogfish, sheepshead, and cobia. Offshore Gulf trips target gag grouper, red grouper, amberjack, king mackerel, and mahi-mahi. Tarpon fishing is excellent around Clearwater Pass from May through July.
When is the best time to go fishing in Clearwater?
Clearwater offers productive fishing most of the year. Spring (March-May) is excellent for snook, kingfish, and the start of tarpon season. Summer brings great offshore action for grouper, snapper, and pelagics. Fall (October-December) is peak gag grouper season and arguably the best overall fishing period. Winter produces good sheepshead and hogfish.
Do I need a fishing license for a charter in Clearwater, FL?
No. Florida does not require passengers on a licensed charter boat to have a personal fishing license. Your captain's license covers all anglers on board for the duration of the trip.
