Tim Adams

Member since June 2015 Destin, United States

Background: Captain since 1986, I have been running SCUBA and fishing charters continuously since that time. I have been a Scuba diving instructor since 1985, I don't teach anymore, but still dive when I am not fishing! I absolutely love the marine life of the seas, I'm still fascinated by the diversity of it as well. My degree is in Biology so I naturally am drawn to the salt water and all its critters which reside and swim there.
Techniques: At Double Time Charters we prefer using light tackle, often with live bait, for the most fun and fight while fishing. Trolling and bottom fishing are the most popular methods we use, but sight fishing when available is also utilized, either in Cobia season, or anytime the opportunity presents itself during the summer, such as when we find large Sargassum (seaweed) rafts floating, as there are always lots of fish activity around and below the rafts..

Customers are seeing red… SNAPPERS!

Jun 3, 2025 Destin

Good baits, good weather and Great anglers! Fish bit well and not too much triuble with sharks although we had a few big fish get taken by those sharks.

Red Snappers are HUNGRY!!!

Jun 2, 2025 Destin

Opening day of federal Red Snapper season and the fish didn’t disappoint! All anglers had their hands full with these beautiful, hard fighting fish! Even the younger anglers were very successful on this 5 hour charter!

Snapper Smash!

Mar 12, 2025 Destin

Walt brought his fam out for a morning charter to catch some dinner and was met with great success! Jared, Caden and Jace all captured Vermilion Snappers and we kept about 30 for dinner. Thanks afain, Walt!

Big Snappers!

Jun 7, 2024 Destin

Ben and Debbie returned to fish on the mighty Double Time and we captured 3 different species of delicious snappers forthe table! Seas were fair and the bite was actually a little slow due to the snappers still being in roe, but I hit some special spots and we capitalized on some great dinner fare. Somehow we managed to stay away from the sharks ans dolphins as well. All in all the Red Snapper season is off to a good start here in the northern Gulf and the bait boat is packing good minnows every day so the customers can exercise the option to buy bait instead of spending the time to catch it, makes for more fishing time! This was a 5 hour charter which seems to fly by in an instant, but a very popular trip.

4 Hour Mingo Charter- Got 'Em!

Apr 7, 2024 Destin

Patti, Mona and Mr. Jerry came out to play with the fishes on Double Time and we captured some nice dinner for a short morning trip in the Gulf of Mexico. The ladies are always hard to best but even Jerry did well. Enjoy the fresh seafood, guys and gals!

5 Hour Mingo Smash!

Mar 20, 2024 Destin

Longtime customer Steve Orlando and buddy Brian came out on the mighty Double Time for a 5 hour charter to hopefully catch some lunch and dinner and were not disappointed! We started out trolling for Spanish Mackerel and caught 4 in about 10 minutes and then we headed out into the Gulf for some bottom fishing. Very slow start as it was dead bottom of the tide and we were only catching Ruby Lips but then the bite picked up and we started getting the Mingos (Vermilion Snapper) to bite. We ended up with 21 Vermiions, 4 Spanish and a Chocolate Porgy, more than enough for their lunch and dinner AND a huge plate of fish for me, all of which Brotula's Restaurant cooked up for them! We also caught and released a few Red Snappers just for good measure!

Captain Tim was on time, kind, honest, informative and genuinely interested in making the day a good experience. He explained everything and taught us a lot about the different fish - not in a “know it all way”, just super engaged and focused on our having a great experience. He was fun to spend the day with. No need to look for another Captain when we return to Destin!! Thank you Captain Tim.

Thank you, Roberta, for sharing some of your family with me! That pic of the fish platter makes me salivate! Your daughters were a lot of fun and fished like pros, but Rich caught the big ones, a true “silent killer”! Rich, Rachyl and Abie were a pleasure to have aboard, hope you will fish with me again sometime!👍

Sean, thanks for choosing me! Hope you guys had a good time and will maybe fish with me again in the future. Tell Rick and Badger thanks as well. Don’t over-cook the fish, and let me know what you think of the Rabbitfish! Capt. Tim

We caught lots of fish and had a fantastic time with Captain Mike! He’s such a nice guy and really goes above and beyond to put you on the fish. We would definitely go fishing with him again. Highly recommended!

Great day on the water with Captain Tim. Limit on Kings within 45 minutes. Fish on at every location. Caught over 40 fish in 5 hours with lines dropped. Tim’s knowledge of the water and hot spots is fantastic. Brotula’s restaurant at the top of the hill cooked our catch and it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. You won’t be disappointed with this trip!
