Captain
Tony Zain

Member since December 2014

Holmes Beach, United States

Background
Tony first started fishing with his grandpa in Northern Michigan at the age of 5. After personally testing virtually all of the celebrated hotspots of the US, he finally settled down in what he considers the ultimate fish heaven - the Tampa Bay waterways. Tony has had a privilege to guide fishing charters in many places throughout the country, and fishing in the bay area is by far his favorite.
Techniques
We like to utilize the lightest tackle possible to catch all of the game fish in the offshore waters of Miami. Drifting live and dead bait, bottom fishing and trolling are our preferred techniques. Light spinning rods are used for everything except trolling.

Fishing Experience!
Went fishing on Friday, April 8, 2016

My family and I had an amazing day with Capt. Tony Zain. His boat was clean impeccable,  and organized. It was easy to get around when fishing. He was very professional and knowledgeable about the area we went fishing. I highly recommend him and my family and I are looking forward to fishing with him again. The king fish fight was exhilarating!

Great fishing experience
Went fishing on Tuesday, August 18, 2015

Our experience with Captain Tony was fantastic.  He called my daughter and i a few days prior to the trip to make sure he understood what we wanted it from the trip.  Within minutes of arriving at our fishing spot,  he put my daughter on to a Mahi.  His enthusiasm,  knowledge of the area,  and fishing experience made this a great trip.  He never stopped working to get fish on our line.  After 4 hours,  we had reeled in 5 Mahi and 5 tuna.  His boat is very clean,  and his equipment is first class. Back on shore, he cleaned or fish and ice packed it.  You will be seeing us again,  Captain! Thanks for a great experience for my daughter and i.
