Where to find current Sebastian fishing reports

We don’t publish a daily report and we won’t reprint one. What’s biting this week comes from the boats — here is where the Sebastian fleet posts it.

Most captains put the day’s catch here, not on their website.

Handles and report pages come from each charter’s own website; every link goes to the captain and nothing of theirs is reproduced here. Boats are ordered by how established they are locally.

Why this one is here

The record names Sebastian as the catch location, which is why it sits on this page rather than the state's. A record is what came over the rail once — it is not what to expect on a trip.

Questions about fishing charters and guides in Sebastian

What happens if it is too windy to go offshore?

Often the trip just moves inshore rather than being called off — 13 of the 49 boats here run both, so a blown-out morning can become a back-country or bay trip. 4 of them publish a weather or cancellation policy on their own site — read the one belonging to the boat you book.

What happens if the weather turns before my Sebastian trip?

It is the captain's call on the morning, and the terms differ boat to boat: some refund the deposit, some reschedule. Worth reading the policy of the boat you are booking before you pay one.

Do Sebastian charters clean your catch?

Most do, at the dock when you come in, and a good few say so plainly on their own sites. As Filet Show Sebastian Fl Fishing Charters puts it: “Fish will be cleaned and bagged by the captain.” Whether it costs anything is up to the boat, so ask when you book.

How many people can come along in Sebastian?

Five is the usual limit on a private boat here, though plenty take three and four — it is set by the captain's licence and the boat, not by how many will fit. As Filet Show Sebastian Fl Fishing Charters puts it: “We can take up to 5 people comfortably so find 4 people you like and lets go exploring!”

Are there family-friendly fishing charters in Sebastian?

24 charters in Sebastian mention kids or families on their websites. Ask the captain about children's life jackets, trip length and whether there's a restroom on board.

How do I book a charter or guide in Sebastian?

Call the captain or use their website. CharterFishingBoat doesn't take bookings or payments, and there's no fee to use the directory.

What should I ask the captain?

Ask what the trip includes, how long it lasts, how many people can come, what you're likely to catch that time of year, and the cancellation policy if the weather turns.

Where do state waters end off Sebastian?

Florida state waters on the Atlantic run from shore to 3 miles out; beyond that is federal water. Federal seasons and limits apply beyond it, and for some fish they also apply to federally permitted charter boats inside state waters.
