Our family had a wonderful day fishing with Captain Tim. Tim is such a. great instructor -- everyone caught fish. His boat is always neet and clean (I fish with him several times each season) and Tim always puts you on the fish. You never know what you might catch! In Capt. Tim's boat I have caught well over 30 different species... from pan size snappers to over 400 lbs groupers. You never know what you will reel in! If you are looking for a guide who will put you on fish and show you the right tequnique, and fish in area that is teeming with fish, Capt. Tim Simos, Ft. Pierce Florida, is great choice!
