Enjoy A Day Trip At Sea With Tarpon Springs Fishing

By Daniel Cox


Many people dream of relaxing on a boat out to sea, while others may dream of fishing and filling their freezer with food while out to sea. But if you go on a Tarpon Springs Fishing trip, you can actually do both at the same time. This is a rewarding trip, and you can do it on your own boat or rent one instead.

Of course, buying a boat is very expensive, so luckily there are charter companies that allow you to rent a boat to go fishing. You do not even have to have any experience or equipment, as a dedicated crew can help you learn the ropes. Those who do have experience can just kick back and relax as you wait for the fish to start biting.

Whether you want a quick trip that can be fit into a single morning or afternoon, or a much longer trip, you will have plenty to choose from when you book your excursion. Ask your chosen charter company the exact times, but they will likely offer shorter three to four hour trips, as well as longer ones that are six to eight hours. They may even have 12 hour trips that give plenty of time for relaxing.

Some charter companies even have overnight trips. These last up to 30 hours at a time, and are only boats with sleeping accommodations so you can rest. Meals are generally provided on these, along with water and other refreshments. Spots are limited though, so sign up quickly if you are interested.

The cost of these trips varies depending on length and how many people are going. The cost usually includes access to bait, tackle and poles, as well as a fishing license, which is required by the state of Florida and save s you the hassle of having to apply for one on your own. You are allowed to bring your own poles and bait if you prefer, but they will be provided by the crew. Speaking of the crew, it is customary to give them a tip for great service as you leave the boat.

When you sign up, you will be asked if you want a private or a public charter experience. Public means that you will meet other people who choose a public trip as well in order to save money. Most people like this, as they get to make new friends and have fun with them for several hours. However, you can rent the entire boat for yourself or your group and use it as a fun bonding experience instead.

On the appointed day, you will be welcoming on board by your crew, who have tons of experience at sea. They know the best spots to get the most bites, and will even clean and pack your catches for you, or teach you how to do it yourself if you would prefer.

You will travel to a specific spot based on what kind of fish you wish to catch, including tarpon, which is how the city got its unique name, grouper, trout, red snapper and cobia among others that are popular and populous in the area.
