The booking, communication and fishing experience with Captain Tom was first rate. We were on the fish right away and hauled in a limit of Snapper and quite a few Jacks. The boat is large and comfortable with plenty of room to move around. This was my first deep sea fishing and I know I will book again because of this experience.
Ted, thank you for the opportunity. Had a great time fishing offshore with you! Capt. Tom
we caught snapper, blue runners, a few small groupers, sherpheads, and a few pork fish.
Thank you for the opportunity, Gerald. I had a great time with you and your crew. Capt. Tom

Captain Tom made it an awesome trip. My teenage son and I were focused on catching fish and learning some new tips. We did both, and had a blast with Tom. Looking forward to getting out on the water with him again.
Thank you Jeff!
