Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

Treasure Island Fishing Overview

Treasure Island, located in Florida, offers a prime location for fishing enthusiasts with access to the abundant waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay. The town's proximity to John's Pass inlet provides easy access to fishing right off the dock. A variety of species can be targeted, including King and Spanish Mackerel, Snook, Redfish, Cobia, Flounder, Speckled Trout, Tarpon, Mangrove and Red Snapper, different species of Grouper, Jack Crevalle, Hogfish, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Wahoo, and Tuna.

Half-day trips are ideal for family outings, while full-day trips offer a more serious fishing experience. Specialized trips are also available for targeting the Silver King - Tarpon. The annual Suncoast Kingfish Classic tournament in spring and fall provides an opportunity for healthy competition.

Fishing charters are available from various marinas in the area, and a saltwater fishing license will be provided by the captain. It is important to note that there is a strict catch-and-release policy for Tarpon.

Treasure Island Inshore Fishing

For any angler, just looking at a map of Treasure Island will cause excitement. For inshore anglers, however, Treasure Island is a very special place. The biodiverse inshore waters are home to many bucket list species. In the spring and summer months Tarpon swing by on their southbound migration.

They are accompanied by ambushing Snook and Redfish moving into the warmer bay waters. As the waters cool down, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Grouper species can be expected. Fish the best Treasure Island fishing spots like Caladesi Island and Honeymoon Island or cruise the bays, backwaters, and bayous for mangrove monsters. Regardless of the time of year, your Treasure Island fishing charter will ensure that you stay on the bite!

Treasure Island Offshore Fishing

Just a short boat ride out of the bay will bring you to some highly productive nearshore waters. Deep dropping or trolling around structure will bring Hogfish, Snapper, Grouper, Cobia, and other formidable fighters to our Treasure Island charter boats.

Schools of baitfish hang out near the mouth of the bay in the summer, so that's a great place to start. There are also plenty of reefs & wrecks always providing a diverse catch to Treasure Island deep sea fishing charters. For the full-day and extended day offshore trips of 40+ miles out, Kingfish, Tuna, Mahi-Mahi, and billfish can be caught.

    Had a great time with Alex. He too is to a good spot that was just our speed and worked hard to help us keep our lines in the water. We caught bunch of speckled trout and mackerel. Then hit a nice spot to swim and shell before heading back in. Alex was personable and helped make our experience a memorable one. His boat was perfect for our group of 5. We would highly recommend heading out with Alex!

    Trip: Bradenton Classic Inshore

  • ★★★★★
    What a fantastic day out on the water!!! My family came in from out of town looking to go on a deeper fishing trip. Greg came highly recommended both by the booking agent as well as previous reviews. Our hopes of having fun and catching some big fish were exceeded both by the amount and size of fish that were caught as well as the variety. Greg really showed his knowledge and experience by his ability to put us “on the fish”! Robbie, the captain’s right hand man, was so awesome as well! He kept all the lines baited and really taught us how to not lose the fish while reeling them in. The entire day was a blast and an unforgettable adventure!!! Thank you again Greg and Robbie from the Shannon Clan!

  • ★★★★★
    Hank hit all the right spots to catch enough tasty sheepshead fish and snapper to make a great fishing day out of a bad weather one. As a fair weather recreational boater and fisherman we were able to avoid the seasickness from the choppy windy conditions and make it worthwhile for the 3 teen boys for 4 hours hooking probably twenty fish with 8 good size keepers filleted by him right on shore.

    Went out with Robert for a 4 hour trip targeting speckled trout. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area and knew exactly what to do throughout the whole day to keep us on the fish almost the entire time. Aside from the fishing we also just had a great time in general on the boat through the whole trip. We will be booking again on our future trips to Tarpon for a deep water excursion.

    Trip: St. Pete Offshore Experience

  • ★★★★★
    Bert Weber I did not have Cameron as my guide due to a scheduling mix-up. I did have Josh as a fill-in and he did a fantastic job finding some nice redfish. Luckily, I had flexibility as far as my time and the afternoon trip worked out well. My original request was for a fly fishing experience...Josh informed that this was not a viable option due to water conditions. All considered...it was a good day of fishing and I would recommend Josh to anyone.
