Why this one is here

The record was taken on Lake Kissimmee, which is the water the boats on this page fish — not St. Cloud itself. 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 St. Cloud

What happens if it is too windy to go offshore?

Often the trip just moves inshore rather than being called off — 6 of the 43 boats here run both, so a blown-out morning can become a back-country or bay trip. Ask what the captain does with weather, and what the cancellation terms are.

Back-country or offshore — which trip should I book in St. Cloud?

They are different days on different water. 3 charters here list offshore only, 4 list inshore only, and 6 list both. Offshore means a longer run and bigger fish; inshore means calmer water, shorter runs and sight-fishing. The month-by-month table above shows which fish the fleet says are around when you are coming.

Do I need to bring rods and tackle to St. Cloud?

No. Rods, reels, bait and tackle come with the boat on most trips here — fly anglers are the exception, and usually bring their own. As Bass Fishing Florida puts it: “All rods and reels, artificial lures, drinking water, and rain gear included.”

Are there family-friendly fishing charters in St. Cloud?

19 charters in St. Cloud 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 St. Cloud?

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 St. Cloud?

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.
