I Started fishing when I was around 3 years old with my father and from then on went fishing every weekend mostly at Calaveras and Braunig Lake and some coastal fishing until I graduated high school. At 8 years old I decided that I wanted to be a captain and take people fishing when I grew up. Every fishing magazine that came out my parents had to go buy it for me and I would read it multiple times front to back so I could be the best fisherman I could possibly be. Then I Went to college for a partial semester but skipped school to go fishing everyday. Then decided to become a commercial fisherman at 19 years old eventually becoming at full time fishing guide at 25 years of age. Now I've been in news papers, magazines, radio talk shows, broken multiple lake records and a couple state records. My sons first fish was the youth lake record redfish at 5 years of age and shortly after got my daughter the youth record blue catfish at the age of 9. Fishing has always been my passion and now my passion is getting other people on fish and watching the excitement in their faces.

we had a great time with Captain TJ, grandson’s got to catch their first ever red fish and limit out on them as well. Captain TJ is a very knowledgeable guide and I would recommend him to anybody. I’m planning on going back with him again in the future.

TJ was awesome and took me and my oldest daughter out Oct 13 2025 and he was GREAT! He shot me straight, knew the lake, and where the fish were. Landed our limit in no time and was a great guy to chat with. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a straight shooter and seasoned guide.
