About Time Fishing And Island Excursions
Come and experience the plentiful waters that surround Florida's Charlot Harbor with About Time Fishing And Island Excursions! Captain Tj Haley is the man behind the helm of this charter. With over a two decades of Floridian fishing experience under his belt, he's the perfect person to help you target some of the area's most famous fish, from Snook to Cobia and more.
Capt. Tj may have started casting his line in Florida in 2006, but he's been fishing for much longer than that. Born in Ohio, he grew up exploring the state's plentiful waters before deciding to relocate to Florida. Now, he uses his lifetime of angling experience to run a variety of trips in the Sunshine State, for anglers of all skill levels and ages.
Capt. Tj will have you targeting a whole host of impressive species on your trip. Newer anglers and families with little ones can opt for half day adventures. Spend less time on the water and go after inshore fish such as Snook, Flounder, and Spotted Seatrout!
More experience under your belt? Spend longer on the water to hook the "Silver King" (Tarpon), huge Redfish, hard-fighting Cobia, and Snapper species. If there's a specific species you'd like to target, or fishing technique you want to try, let your captain know. He's more than happy to customize your trip to suit your needs.
All of Capt. Tj's trips take place on board his 23' Ranger bay boat, capable of accommodating up to 6 anglers. She's decked out with top-quality navigational and safety gear. Just make sure you request children's life vests in advance if needed. Your captain also has an onboard cooler with ice for any snacks and drinks you'd like to bring along.
You'll be provided with top-quality Penn, Shimano, and St. Croix fishing equipment, as well as a fishing license that covers your whole group. All that's left is to slather on the sunscreen, and hop aboard About Time Fishing And Island Excursions. It's "About Time" for your unforgettable angling adventure!

TJ made this very easy for first times who have no idea what to do. When the trip is booked he sends you a few short info videos. TJ contacted us the day before our trip ready for any questions we had. As you get to the pier he text you direction to where he is. There were 5 of us ranging from 12 years old to 65 years. Everyone had a wonderful time. TJ took us several difference great areas to fish, he filleted all the fish we caught and put them in a bag of ice for the trip home. When we got home all we had to do was a little seasoning and throw them on the grill.

Half day trip with captain TJ
TJ was a very prompt and on-time person. He is very professional and took us to three different locations to fish. In each different area, he told us about all of the fish we may catch in that particular spot. He was exceptionally great at rapidly re-baiting our hooks after we caught fish one after another at one of our fishing holes. TJ was exceptionally great at teaching us different fishing techniques and talking to us about the different baits that we were using and why each one worked well for the particular species of fish that we were going after. He ended the trip with filleting our fish and making it ready to cook up for dinner! We highly recommend TJ if you want to enjoy a day fishing out on the water.
