CAPT. TIM IS NOW OFFERING ONLY LAND BASED GOLIATH GROUPER TRIPS AND GOLIATH TRIPS ON YOUR BOAT.  The Goliath Guru is the name that Captain Tim Simos was given after catching hundreds of Goliath Grouper for his clients.  The term Guru means “teacher” and someone “heavy with knowledge” on a specific subject. Captain Tim prefers to target Goliath grouper because they are the most powerful fish around and the most challenging.  If keeping a Goliath interests you, then apply for a permit on FWC website during the first two weeks in October.  If you are selected, schedule a trip from March 1 through May 31.  You are almost guaranteed to get your slot Goliath as Capt.
