Tom Hinterschied

Member since February 2015 Pompano Beach, United States

Background: I am a native of south Florida and an Army veteran. I Grew up fishing in south Florida with my father and grand father. I grew up near the water so fishing after school was a daily event. I have been making my living fishing for the past 15 years and before that as a marine mechanic. I love taking people fishing, whether beginner or old salt I have a blast.
Techniques: Flying live baits from a kite or trolling ballyhoo and artificial lures are the primary techniques I employ. I do like to drop a shark bait while drifting and catching monster fish. Bottom fishing for grouper and snapper is a great way to put some filets on the grill.

Top Sailfish Tagging Captain in the Atla

Feb 14, 2024 Pompano Beach

Captain Tom has won the award for the top sailfish tagging captain in the Atlantic ocean by the Billfish Foundation. Catching and tagging more sailfish than any other boat in the Atlantic. All of the fish were caught by customers who chartered captain tom throughout the year. Come catch sailfish with captain Tom and help him win the award again this year.

Sailfish

Dec 10, 2022 Pompano Beach

Sailfish are showing up in good numbers. We will start catching them through early may. Lots of kingfish as well. A few Mahi still around and the tunas are making their presence known.

Sailfish season is in

Dec 4, 2021 Pompano Beach

The Sailfish are here and we are catching them. All last week we were having multiple shots at sailfish. I prefer to tag and release these fish to fight again another day. Some people like to kill them and eat them. I have eaten them and can tell you they are not that good. I would rather eat a hot dog. Mixed in with the sailfish are wahoo, tuna, dolphin and kingfish. If you can, Book a 6hr trip for a better shot at catching a trophy

Dolphin / Mahi Mahi

Aug 6, 2021 Pompano Beach

summertime brings calm seas and plenty of dolphin /mahi. weediness form up in the Gulf Stream and the baitfish follow the weeds and then the dolphin follow the bait. book a 5 hour trip and have plenty of time to cash in on the summertime fishing.

Full Day Trip - Deep Sea Fishing

We had a nice day out on the boat with Captain Tom. Although we didn’t get a lot of bites, we did manage to pull in a big blackfin tuna and two kingfish, one large and one medium. Had a few other bites that didn’t end up making it into the boat, and a couple that did but were not keepers, and despite there not being a lot of action, we had a good time. The captain was easy to work with, and explained how to kite fish (a new one for us), as well as providing tips on how to properly reel in... More

We went out, caught some live bait right off the bat. 20 minutes after getting lines dropped down had a big bite but bit passed the leader before we could react. It took some time but we got on some fish. Ended up catching a Barracuda, Mahi-Mahi and 2 King Fish. I definitely plan on booking again with Captain Tom and recommending him to friends that want to go on a charter. Thanks Captain Tom!

We had a great day out with Tom. My 2 kids ages 14 and 11 really enjoyed learning about fishing and tricks of the trade. Tom was great with them and easy to talk to. He took us to 3 different locations and we caught a smaller trigger fish, a small shark, and at the end a huge amber jack! We were able to take it home to enjoy. Tom even fileted it for us. It was a really memorable experience.

My 14 year old son really wanted to catch a shark and also a fish that we could cook. With fishing you can do your best and sometimes just not catch anything. Having an experienced Captain will give you the best chance at catching. Captain Tom was able to have him catch both ! A King fish which he cleaned for us to be able to take home for lunch and a shark! Would recommend. (Captain Tom was punctual, experienced , responded promptly when I had a question before the charter, the boat was clean... More

Wow! We had an awesome experience today! Captain Tom is so knowledgeable, kind, interesting and a great host. He pretty much does everything for you, and you just enjoy the ride! We immediately caught small bait fish and it took some time to catch bigger fish but we did! We left with many lbs of fresh kingfish steaks, masterfully filleted by Captain Tom! We can’t wait to cook them tomorrow. We had a wonderful time and this was one of the highlights of our Florida trip! If you’re looking for... More
