Timothy O'Malley

Member since May 2015 Fort Walton Beach, United States
Background
I'm a fourth-generation fisherman who proudly learned and followed in my father's footsteps. I have owned and operated my own boats since I was sixteen. I commercial fished all my life and have now retired. My love and passion for the sport have brought me back to the sea to embark on a new chapter in my life: charter fishing. Book today so I can share fishing tricks, reveal secret spots, and ensure you have a fantastic time!
Techniques
Due to my extensive background in commercial fishing I specialize in trolling and handlining. Handline fishing is an exhilarating and challenging experience, it is well worth it for the intense thrill. We will also bottom fish with rods and reels.
