Background
Captain Thomas Barnard specializes in bottom fishing with light tackle, making each catch an exciting adventure. From reeling in Redfish to landing Speckled Trout, you'll be amazed at the variety of fish he'll help you hook. Not only does he have a knack for teaching kids the art of fishing, but he's also known for creating a fun-filled atmosphere that guarantees a great time for everyone. Join Captain Tommy for an epic fishing escapade where laughter, learning, and impressive catches await!
Techniques
There are several ways I target the species of fish . One way is free lining live croaker for speckled trout & sometimes picking up redfish on the live croaker as well. Another style of fishing is anchored up fishing for redfish.
