    Awesome Half Day Trip with Captain Tommy

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 19, 2018

    We had such an amazing time with Captain Tommy! We took a half day trip out on the beautiful water and caught a good amount of fish! Tommy knew all of the honey holes to fish at, he was fun, kind, knowledgeable and patient with us rookies! Our 6year old had a blast and Tommy was so good with her! He even let her “drive” the boat, which she loved! Would recommend this adventure to anyone!! Worth every penny!

Captain Tom
4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 6, 2022 • 2 adults

If you get the chance to do some fishing with Captain Tom, I highly recommend it. He was prompt on pickup, extremely professional and knowledgeable. It was honestly like fishing with one of my friends. He put us on some snook which were fun. We tried for some red's and mackerel but the heat was definitely affecting the fishing. It certainly wasn't for a lack of trying because Captain Tom brought us everywhere! I can't wait for my next trip down there to head out with him again.

Had a great time. Great day. Good people. Fish were bitting. Capitan and first mate were awesome. Friendly. Knowledgeable, answered my dumb questions! Lol… and knew how to handle all the work side of fishing and allowed us to have fun …. we caught many verities of fish and had a blast…capitan filleted fish for us and suggested blackened seasoning.

Great "Day Off" with Captain Dominguez
4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 28, 2022 • 1 adult

I had a great day off with Captain Thomas. He was on time, prepared and had great communication before the trip. It was my first time fishing in Florida and he had a great plan for targeting different species, over a wide area of the bay. I am an experienced fisherman and it was great to fish with him and learn from him. Thanks for everything, it was a great day! Hope to come back again!

Thomas Dominguez
Response from Captain

It was great to fish 1on1 with you! Great conversation and good fishing is always a great time! Thank you for choosing me as your guide!
