4 hour guided trip (AM)
Captain TJ was ready with a comfortable boat, cold drinks and fresh threadfin shad. Everything provided. Not only was he very knowledgeable and helpful, he was great with my 13 year son and talked fishin' shop with him all trip. My son said that was the best charter he's ever been on (mine too). 4 hour AM trip with tight lines all day, hauled out lots of species some monster stonkers! Fishing peacock bass and clown knife fish is a must for any angler, TJ will put you on them!

I told Capt. Tim I wanted to catch my first peacock bass and he didn’t lie when he said he can make it happen. We stayed on them from the first stop to the last. We got to the ramp in the morning and the ramp was unexpectedly closed (which has never happened) so he said let’s go to plan B which ended up being a great choice. He put in extra work to make sure we had the day that we did. The man knows the local waters and how to put the fish in the boat! He was great about taking pictures for us to always have. No question we will book with him again when we come back to Florida.

Booked a last minute trip with Captain TJ. He was more than prepared. Rods, fresh live- bait, drinks, lures, boat. I brought my mom and sister and made sure they were involved and had a spot to hangout while I fished. He took us to a bunch of different spots. The first spot he instantly put me on some fish. TJ was patient, knowledgeable, and fun. He walked me through the process, put me in the right spots, and set me up for success. TJ was also very personable and fun to talk to and hang out with. It was like I was on a fishing trip with a buddy of mine. We caught nearly a dozen fish in a bunch of different ways. I cannot wait to be back. If you’re debating on a trip, look no further than Captain TJ.

Unbelievable fishing trip today with my 11 and 14 year old sons. We are on vacation from Michigan. TJ was amazing. So happy to have found him. Very knowledgeable of the area and very patient. Great fishing charter captain, especially for kids. We caught various species of fish including Peacock bass. I think we racked up around 25 fish over the four hour trip. Could not have been happier. Memorable father-son time for sure. Thank you! -Robert

TJ was an awesome captain! He took us to many spots and made sure we all got fish! We got a few different types of fish as well! He even took us bait fishing twice to make sure the bait were in the best condition! He also took great pics and sent them to us when we were done! We can’t recommend this trip enough, and we will be back asap! If you are coming into town or live here TJ is your guy! 10000% recommend!
