Questions about fishing charters in Treasure Island

What happens if it is too windy to go offshore?

Often the trip just moves inshore rather than being called off — 71 of the 269 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 Treasure Island?

They are different days on different water. 37 charters here list offshore only, 82 list inshore only, and 71 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 Treasure Island?

No. Rods, reels, bait and tackle come with the boat on every Treasure Island charter that says so on its own site — fly anglers are the exception, and usually bring their own. As T-Kat Fishing Charters puts it: “All necessary licensing, bait, coolers, and ice are included.”

Do Treasure Island 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 T-Kat Fishing Charters puts it: “After your trip, Captain Tom or the mate will clean, package, and ice your catch, leaving you with memories to savor and fish to enjoy.” Whether it costs anything is up to the boat, so ask when you book.

What should I bring on a Treasure Island charter?

Sun protection and your own food and drink. Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses and food come up most often on Treasure Island charter sites.

Are there family-friendly fishing charters in Treasure Island?

96 charters in Treasure Island 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 in Treasure Island?

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 Treasure Island?

Florida state waters in the Gulf run from shore to 9 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.
