Tj Haley

Member since January 2020 Punta Gorda, United States
Background
Captain Tj Haley has been fishing these waters over 20 years, so it's fair to say that he has the perfect amount of local experience to take you on the trip of a lifetime! Originally from Ohio, he grew up fishing for some of the state's most famous fish, including Walleye, Perch, and Bass, before deciding to relocate to Fort Myers and experience the angling opportunities on offer here. His favourite thing about his job is getting customers on fish, and seeing their reactions when they hook their dream catch!
Techniques
We mainly provide inshore, backwater fishing trips and visits to our beautiful barrier islands. Off shore trips are possible pending weather conditions. We try to use artificial bait as much as possible but we know this sometimes isn't the best option so we do use live bait as well. We are great with kids and families with young children who might not be the most experienced anglers yet, but tend to be great by the time they get off the boat.
