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 Tuna 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!
