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.

Captain was very nice but the fishing was poor. Was expecting the captain to have more knowledge of fishing and spots. Captain didn’t seem to really care if we caught fish or not. Seems like another trip to him. Not very helpful with tips.

Wow
Not at all the case.
Sorry you felt that way. I mentioned at the start that the fishing was slow… but you wanted to go still… so we did. The main reason I mentioned that the fishing was slow was so that we didn’t go and you could have gotten your deposit back from fishing Booker. It also didn’t help that per your request we went at 10 which actually ended up being 10:30 on my side due to a fog delay for my first trip that morning but none the less the afternoon bite was actually worse than the morning bite which didn’t surprise me. I never had a I don’t care if you catch fish attitude as a matter of fact you mentioned that the captain was a nice guy I’m confused how you can be a nice guy but not care at the same time

Wish the boat had a couple comfortable chairs. I had a nice seat but my friend had the hard bow to sit on.

Boy do I understand… unfortunately flats boats only have one decent seat with a back rest at the center console. The other option is to sit in the back with me and the main seat. He was welcome to sit there. I don’t bit. Guess I should have offered it to him, I didn’t think about it, as a matter of fact I thought he wanted to sit there.
Again, sorry you felt that way… I really enjoyed your company and hope you liked the redfish dinner.

We had a great time with Cpt Tom. Great conversation while waiting on the fish to start feeding. End up with 3 slot redfish a nice trout and of course a catfish. Will definitely be back…

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.
