Fishing Guide Capt Tom Hinterschied
When it comes down to the finest deep sea blue waters and all the angling opportunities, Fishing Guide Capt Tom Hinterschied is your best choice. Battle monster Swordfish far out from shore or stay close to the coast and get your hands on whatever is in season and biting.
If you decide to book a trip during the summer months, you will be able to enjoy the warm waters and calm seas. You will begin your adventure nearshore, targeting Tuna and Kingfish. As the season progresses, you will be moving further out for Mahi Mahi.
Come fall and you will be able to hit the reefs for a mixed bag of Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Cobia, Kingfish, and Sailfish. The winter months are also all about the reefs and whatever patrols those prolific waters.
And if you are looking to fight with Pelagics, spring is your time. Bringing home a cooler full of amazing catches brings a smile to any angler’s face!
All of that magic happens aboard a 27’ Conch center console. Built back in 2000 and fully overhauled in 2015, the boat is fully rigged with top-notch electronics and powered by twin 150 HP Yamaha engines. It can get you to the fishing grounds in a matter of minutes so that you could begin the reel-screaming action as soon as possible.
The trips with Capt. Tom are all-inclusive; all you have to do is just bring your own food with you.

Full Day Trip - Deep Sea Fishing
An enjoyable day of fishing!
We had a nice day out on the boat with Captain Tom. Although we didn't get a lot of bites, we did manage to pull in a big blackfin tuna and two kingfish, one large and one medium. Had a few other bites that didn't end up making it into the boat, and a couple that did but were not keepers, and despite there not being a lot of action, we had a good time. The captain was easy to work with, and explained how to kite fish (a new one for us), as well as providing tips on how to properly reel in a big fish without snapping the line. The only comment I would have is that despite there being sufficient rods, we only ever had four lines in the water at a time, even though there were five of us on the boat. I didn't question the captain about this and just assumed that with his many years of experience, he knew what was best.

Half Day Trip – Shark
Mission completed
My 14 year old son really wanted to catch a shark and also a fish that we could cook. With fishing you can do your best and sometimes just not catch anything. Having an experienced Captain will give you the best chance at catching. Captain Tom was able to have him catch both ! A King fish which he cleaned for us to be able to take home for lunch and a shark! Would recommend. (Captain Tom was punctual, experienced , responded promptly when I had a question before the charter, the boat was clean , no cons that I can say).

Half Day Trip – Deep Sea Afternoon
Great Experience
Captain Tom is everything you want in a fishing guide; on time, friendly, and very knowledgeable. We had a couple bites. Captain Tom tried switching bait and fishing techniques, but we were unlucky. We booked an afternoon trip on a hot day, Great time on the water though! We Highly recommend Captain Tom! We’ll be booking a morning trip soon!

2 hour intercostal fishing
our favorite fishing trip to date
Captain Tom was incredible from the time we booked our trip to the time we ate our fish! We booked a quick family trip and the entire time we just had a blast. The memories my family made we will forever cherish in our hearts. I have never met someone so knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to fishing, you can tell this guy knows what he is doing and enjoys it! I wish I could give this charter 1000 ⭐️ we feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet such an awesome fisherman and for him to not only teach us but help catch us SO MANY FISH!

4 hour afternoon deep sea fishing
Incredible Captain who is committed to making sure you reel some in! 🎣
Wow! We had an awesome experience today! Captain Tom is so knowledgeable, kind, interesting and a great host. He pretty much does everything for you, and you just enjoy the ride! We immediately caught small bait fish and it took some time to catch bigger fish but we did! We left with many lbs of fresh kingfish steaks, masterfully filleted by Captain Tom! We can’t wait to cook them tomorrow. We had a wonderful time and this was one of the highlights of our Florida trip! If you’re looking for an awesome experience, book with Captain Tom!
