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.

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
