Tim Loftis Fishing
Tim Loftis Fishing
Join Tim Loftis Fishing for a fun day on Lake Okeechobee! Captain Tim has been fishing in the area since the late '80s, so saying he's experienced is an understatement. He knows these waters like the back of his palm and he's your man if you're hoping to learn lots of useful fishing tricks. Each trip can be adjusted to meet your needs, as long as you communicate everything in advance.
The newest addition to Capt. Tim's charter is a 23' Key West boat, built in 2021. This brand new bay boat is powered by a 250 HP Mercury engine and features Garmin GPS with depth finders. There's also a Minn Kota wireless trolling engine and twin power poles to hold the boat on the spot. You'll also find a built in cooler for drinks and dry boxes for storage.
Your main target for the day is Largemouth Bass but you can also get your hands on Crappie, Sunfish, and Snook. It depends if you stay in the lake or visit the Everglades. Crappie is one of the tastiest panfish you'll ever find and here you have the chance to catch them on your own. You can keep this fish and the captain will clean it for you free of charge. Bass and other species are being released back.
Capt. Tim is fully equipped with all the tackle and rods you'll need for whatever you fish for. You will be required to purchase your fishing license for the trip. You will also have to pay for any live bait used. Some snacks and bottled water are provided but feel free to bring your own.
Tim Loftis Fishing welcomes you, your family, and friends on a day of adventure!

Mercedes Lapp•
New York, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedNewEasy going and Relaxing
4 Hour Trip on September 3, 2026 • 3 adultsBooking with the site and communication with Capt Tim was easy and convenient. Though the fish were stubborn we caught a few and Capt Tim made sure to show us all the spots on the lake. When the fish werent biting he shared lots of useful tips. The wildlife, aside from the fish, on Lake Placid was awesome.

6 Hour Trip on March 28, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Tim is the man! Excellent communication and planning for our trip. We literally had a fish on the first cast and then proceeded to catch 15-20 fish anchored by a 7lber throughout the day. He is an enjoyable guide to fish with and we would easily book with him for future trips. Thank you Capt Tim!
Lee CooperRepeat angler•Minnesota, US•Member since 20253 trips5.0Verifiedone of the best captains
4 Hour Trip on April 25, 2026 • 2 adultsTim made are trip fun and we learned about the lake and about the fish and we got some nice bass with one being over 8Lbs.
Jeff Negle•Pennsylvania, USMember since 20245.0VerifiedGreat day on Lake O
8 Hour Trip on January 31, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain Tim caught a bug the night before our trip and could not make it. He sounded really sick on the phone, and we were appreciative that he stayed home to get well and not spread the bug. He arranged for Captain Charlie Weyer to take his place. Captain Charlie did a great job. His boat was well-equipped and was really fast. We fished many spots and used shiners, speed worms and other lures. We caught bass, gar, cats and something called a mudfish. They were all fun to catch. We fished so much we were exhausted when we finally docked. Captain Charlie really knew his stuff. It was nice to be on the lake with a guide who was Bassmaster champion.

6 Hour Trip on April 21, 2025 • 2 adultsMy son (13 years old) and I had booked a 6 hour tour with Captain Tim. It was fantastic. Tim is an excellent fisherman, we fished with life bait for large mouth bass and catfish. Tim helped us with the equipment, I think he is an exceptionally good teacher for kids. When he caught a catfish with an empty hook (without bait, just the hook) in front of our eyes, we were absolutely impressed. Thank you Magic-Tim for a great fishing trip !!!
Robert TaylorRepeat angler•Connecticut, US•Member since 20245 trips5.0VerifiedPersonal best!!!!!
4 Hour Trip on February 23, 2024 • 3 adultsMy brother and his teenage son visited from up north and wanted to go fishing. Captain Tim was the perfect guide for us. We caught a 6 pounder and 5 pounder with a bunch between. The perfect day! Captain Tim is the most patient, knowledgeable and easy to talk to captain I’ve had the pleasure of fishing with. On my fourth guide fishing Lake Okeechobee will call captain Tim every time!
Rexann Mcconnell•Michigan, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedGreat captain
6 Hour Trip on March 18, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain Tim was excellent with the boys (age 13). He tried many different spots, taught them some great tips, and was willing to let them use lots of different rods and lures. Highly recommend!!

I do Lake Okeechobee, Everglades trips, and river trips. I've been on Lake Okeechobee since the late 80s and have been guiding for 5 years now. My availability has changed since now i am retired and can concentrate on taking people to do what they love to do. I am available 7 days a week now with a few days that will not be available.But there will be a calander for all days available. Lake okeechobee will always be available to be your choice to fish. i am wanting to upgrade some lakes that i want to take people to fish closer to my home town. Lake placid which is a deep clear lake loaded with big bass will be available. Lake Istokpoga will be available as another lake that is loaded with big bass and crappie. Lake June is another lake available with big bass and crappie. There will be hotels and places to stay in Sebring and in Lake Placid for rooming for your trip. Let me Capt Tim be your guide on the lake you choose to fish. All gear and tackle will be available or if you have a special rod and reel you are welcome to bring it. Pick your Lake and just call me and lets make a plan to go catch a bass. All trips will be a cash payment. and if live bait is used customer pays for bait.
