    Magical & Memorable Charter Experience

    4 – Hour Inshore/Nearshore4 adults

    Joey and Linda went above and beyond and as a result we had a phenomenal time! we had 2 teenage boys and my husband and I. I dont fish but these 3 love too and it was so exciting watching them catch fish after fish!! My son’s friend almost caught a 2 ft+ shark and the excitement grew from there!! He also caught a baby grouper and a gorgeous black and white fish. My son was able to pull in 2 baby sharks - one being a tiny hammerhead!! They caught a load of trout and ladies! The kids were having the time of their lives. We chose to catch and release and the Captain and Linda enhanced the experience at every opportunity, since we werent going to get the hook to cool experience - we felt so blessed!! They were knowledgeable, engaging, and wonderful overall! When we come back to FL, this is definitely who we would use! Thrilling and remarkable experience that sent us home with huge smiles, tons of stories, and memories that will last a lifetime!! Thank you again Captain Joey and Linda!!

    Sea Dawgs Fishing Charter made my husband’s birthday absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we stepped on the boat, the crew made the entire experience fun, easy, and special for him. They clearly know exactly what they’re doing—they took us straight to all the best fishing spots, and we were catching fish consistently the whole trip. There was never a dull moment, and they made sure we had plenty of success, no matter our experience level. What really set them apart was how helpful and attentive they were from start to finish. They truly went above and beyond, and to top it all off, they cleaned and filleted all of our fish for us at the end, which made everything so convenient. It was the perfect way to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. Highly recommend Sea Dawgs Fishing Charter—we’ll definitely be back!

    Family Friendly Fishing!

    4 – Hour Inshore/Nearshore4 adults1 child

    We had such a great time with SeaDawgs and couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience. Joey and Linda were outstanding. They kept the entire group engaged from the moment we left the dock, making sure everyone felt comfortable, involved, and having fun throughout the trip. Their energy and attention really elevated the whole day. We also had nonstop action on the water and ended up catching a ton of fish, which made the trip even more memorable. It was the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation. They also went above and beyond by sharing helpful local recommendations for things to do and places to check out in the area, which we really appreciated. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun, well-run, and successful fishing trip!

    Wonderful day!

    4 – Hour Inshore/Nearshore4 adults

    We booked a 4 hour trip and had a great day! Caught tons of fish to cook up and a few big ones we threw back. Joe and Linda were both amazing. Very knowledgeable and did his best to make sure we were constantly moving to new and better spots for fish. Linda was super sweet and personable. They both took care of our bait and catch so we didnt have to. They also cleaned and fileted our catch so we could take a restaurant to eat! I highly recommend booking with these two as you will definitely be taken care of and have a great day!

    Amazing experience!!!

    4 – Hour Inshore/Nearshore2 adults

    This was an absolutely phenomenal experience! They were having us haul in more grey and mangrove snapper than we could handle, and that’s not even exaggerating! On top of that, we were hauling in red grouper(which we released), squirrelfish, porgies, and even a triggerfish and pufferfish(Which we also released as they were out of season)! They made sure our day was nonstop action, and we are CERTAINLY going to look to them again if we come back to Treasure Island for vacation again!

What's biting with Sea Dawgs Fishing Charters - Tampa in Treasure Island

When it comes to bottom fishing, you can hit the wrecks and reefs and still come back with a load of fish. Deep sea fishing season is slowing down, but you're still able to catch Mahi Mahi and Tuna, as well as Wahoo and Sailfish.
