5 Hour Offshore on July 29, 2023 • 4 adultsI’m going to tell you something about Tim that amazed me. He took us to our first spot, caught a few fish and when they quit biting, he moved us. When we were fishing, if they stopped biting for 5-10 minutes, he moved us to another spot. It was my son and 2 daughters and he made sure my daughters stayed on fish non-stop! They had a blast as did all of us. His knowledge of the ocean, habitats, and knowledge of all the fish we caught and other species was simply incredible. On our way in around 10:30 am (because it was almost 100 degrees already) he stopped the boat and said look at these mahi mahi. Then proceeded to pull out a couple poles with lures and we landed 10 of them in about 10 minutes to go with all of our snapper we caught. One more thing, my daughter landed a nice 4-‘-5’ shark and we got pictures of it. Great guide, great person!! Highly recommend Tim! If I could give 6 starrs I definitely would! Thank you Tim
