We were down in Hawaii promoting the site…..Maybe Fishing Guides World should be headquartered in Maui. We discovered some great fishing charters that know the local waters well. Maui is definitely a great spot for offshore fishing.

Maui Fishing Charters
Just went to Maui for a week on vacation as well as research. You can’t beat Hawaii in January, especially when it is freezing everywhere else on the mainland. We had temps that ranged from highs of 81 to 83 degrees. Looked into the deep sea fishing charters there and found some great options. Most Maui fishing charters leave from the Lahaina harbor while some also leave out of Maalaea. Maui is home to some great Mahi-Mahi fishing, Marlin fishing, and Tuna fishing. The best time to go is early in the morning but its worth the early wake up call! Check out our Maui fishing charters by clicking here
Well, its that time of year again…Yes, the holidays and the season of buying gifts. If your loved one is an outdoorsman or woman, why not give them the gift of a guided fishing trip? In Texas there are great fishing charters along the coastal cities to choose from. If you are in the Houston area, check into Galveston Bay fishing guides. They are some great bay fishing spots for tracking down redfish and trout. There are also plenty of solid Deep Sea fishing guides in Freeport, which is not too far from the Houston area. If you are struggling with gift ideas, a guided trip is what your fisherman really wants!
Every now and then we like to give report on local fishing conditions using info from State parks and wildlife departments and local fishing guides. Today we are focusing on Texas and specifically, along the southern coast. Texas Coast fishing is solid this time of year with the cooler temperature. Trout have been good in the Galveston area using topwaters and texas redfish have been good in the Rockport and Port Aransas areas on mullet and shrimp. South Texas fishing has been fair to good lately with some good action near the South Padre Intracoastal. We advise using Texas fishing guides to really enjoy your Texas Bay fishing experience. They’ll put you on some big red and specks and are worth the fee.
If you are looking to go fishing in Florida, I recommend looking at charters in the Keys. The keys is known for great inshore and reef fishing. The best time to catch Tarpon or Permit is March through July. Deep sea fishing is also really good in the keys. Mahi-Mahi is best from April through July while Swordfish is best May through August. If you are looking to fish in the winter, the best time to catch grouper is November through March.
One of our favorite Florida fishing guides is down on Marathon Key which is pretty much in the middle keys. The charter name is Main Attraction Charters. They can tailor a trip according to your preferences and also recommend the best trip for the time of year. Check them out the next time your are down there.
This site, Catch Magazine, has some of the coolest fly fishing photos I have seen on the web. Contributors look to be talented freelancers who shoot in some great locations. I especially like their shots of Caribbean fishing. They also have solid Montana fly fishing photos and some good ones of fishing in Alaska. Makes me want to be on the water right now…
In the state of Texas, this is a weekend full of tough decisions. The Texas Longhorns play the Texas Tech Red Raiders in the capitol city of Austin. This is such a great rivalry and always a fun atmosphere to be around. In fact, ESPN gameday will be Austin for its game of the week show. For football fans, its well worth it to make the trip to Austin for this matchup. However, this is a great time for fishing down on the Texas coast as well. According to reports down in Corpus Christi, the fishing is really good right now. Apparently, trout and redfish are biting down in rockport, port aransas, and laguna madre. Good fishing or Good football, its a tough call. Heading down to the Texas coast for fishing might be the best plan. You can watch the game on tv since its a 7pm start time.
In Alabama, the season of fall means life returns to normal as football season is back. Whether its Roll Tide or War Eagle, football in the state of Alabama is serious business. Fall in Alabama also means some of the best fishing of the year. Cooler weather means great bass fishing on the lakes. Check out Lay Lake or Weiss Lake for some quality bass fishing. There are some great guides on the lakes who can get you on some serious bass. Saltwater fishing is also great in the fall down on the Gulf. Most prefer Orange Beach or Gulf Shores areas when fishing on the coast. Fall is great time to do some nearshore fishing for spanish mackerel. If you are looking to go further offshore, try bottom fishing for snapper or grouper or try your hand at deep sea fishing. Alabama fishing charters can take you 50 miles out to fish for Tuna, Marlin, Wahoo, or Mahi-Mahi. We have a variety of Alabama fishing guides that offer trips according to your specific trip desires. Check them out here.
