Captain Tom did us well. It took us a while to find the reds but my son and I managed to land five. Just being out in the Florida backwaters was a special treat and overall the experience was great. I would book this again.

Brad, I’m so glad you gentleman joined me from a day on the flats.
I truly enjoyed fishing with you and spending time getting to know you. I guess the refuge officers removed the dead alligator from the road… didn’t see it when we passed by on the way home. Hope you have a great year, come back and fish with me again soon!

The owner/captain was very professional, knowledgeable, patient and very accommodating even though we only caught two fish, both of which he caught and we reeled in. It was still an amazing trip, beautiful water and shore lines. We will try again.

Fishing was tough due to the heat and time of year but certainly no fault of Captain Tom. Tom was very knowledgeable and experienced and went out of his way to make this a terrific fishing experience. If you are looking for Redfish, Black Drum, Seatrout, (something different from freshwater Largemouth Bass and Crappie) I would highly recommend Tom and “Flat Addicted.”

I was a client of yours a few years back. You took me out fishing for a half day trip. You put me on the Biggest Redfish I have ever seen, including the fish I see on TV. I just wanted to thank you because I didn’t really appreciate what you had given me until I saw all the small fish caught by the TV celebrities on their fishing shows. Rest assured, I will be taking another trip with you in the future!

Capt. Tom did a Great Job, he has really good equipment and fishing out of his Ranger is rock steady. We caught Specks and Reds, and got on several BIG SCHOOLS of Reds…...he worked really hard to keep us on the Fish and we had a BLAST with him! We’ll be going with him again the next time we’re down…..so if your in or around the Orlando Area and are looking for Good Fishing on the Flats, Capt. Tom is your best bet!

A beautiful day on the water. Breezy & pleasnt. Fishing started slow, but Tom’s knowledge of the area & persistence paid off with a good bite of spotted trout later in the morning. A companiable captain made for good times & the well maintained equipment was appreciated.

Hired Capt. Tom to fish in the Mosquito Lagoon. The water was a little dirty and that made sight casting tough but we seen a lot of fish with their tails out of the water finning and that allowed for shots and fish. We got 2 Nice Sea Trout and 4 Redfish. Can’t say we burned down the house on the bite but the Capt. really stuck in there and kept putting us on the fish.

Professional and friendly Captain. Very knowledgable of the area and the habits of the fish. Very good boat and equipment matched for the type of fishing being done. I would recommend Capt. Tom over all the other guides in the area because of the great time I’ve had fishing with him.
