    **"Unforgettable Day on the Water with Captain Tim – Perfect for Families

    1/2 Day Bay Fluke (AM) on August 16, 2024 • 4 adults

    We had an absolutely fantastic day out on the water with Captain Tim! The entire experience was smooth from start to finish, and we couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Booking was a breeze using the app, and Captain Tim was incredibly responsive. He followed up with us the day before, providing a detailed list of what to bring and confirming the right sizes for our kids’ lifejackets. His attention to detail made us feel well-prepared and confident in our choice. On the day of our trip, the weather couldn’t have been better—calm waters with no waves in sight. Captain Tim made sure everyone was comfortable, especially our kids, who had an absolute blast. He was amazing with them, helping them rig their rods and patiently answering all their questions throughout the day. We felt completely at ease with him at the helm. We caught an impressive variety of fish, including fluke, robin fish, a sand shark, black bass, and more. Captain Tim even cleaned the fish we were able to keep, so we left with some delicious fresh catches. The equipment provided was top-notch—various types of rods, lures, and bait were available, so we didn’t need to bring a thing. In addition to the great fishing, we were thrilled to see multiple dolphins and even got up close to two whales. Captain Tim ensured we had the best possible views, which was a highlight for everyone on board. Overall, the trip was an exceptional value, and Captain Tim will definitely be my go-to for future fishing adventures. I strongly recommend his charters for families or anyone looking for a memorable day out on the water. I’m already planning to book him again for a business event in October!

    Captain, Tim of the Margarita

    3/4 Day Striped Bass (AM) Spring on November 10, 2023

    Tim is an extra captain. He receives the where the fish are and what time they’re going to be biting had the pleasure official with him with the Oakdale tournament I’m Long Island this fall which we won a week later we won the Paul tournament for biggest drive bass I also went charted him a few times for Tuna. We had a couple of giants on the first day broke them off. It was too big anyway and we landed a nice 78 pound bluefin is very enjoyable go fishing with him soon step on the boat you have the feeling you’re gonna catch a lot of fish the first day of the first tournament. We caught 40 strike bass over 30 pounds. You fish with him I guarantee you’ll have a good time and catch fish I messed with them at least seven times this season for Tuna stripe bass I have my own boat much more fun fishing with him

Captain Timothy embraced the thrill of fishing at the age of 5, with his godfather as his mentor. Transformed into a passionate fishing enthusiast, chasing the excitement of Striped Bass and Inshore trips. Proudly reeled in numerous giants, with some tipping the scales at a whopping 300/400lbs. Join the Captain on an unforgettable fishing adventure, where every catch holds a story!
