    Wonderful trip!

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 5 adults • 2 children

    Captain Tim was awesome! from the start, the communication and preparation were outstanding. The weather on the day that we booked ended up not being ideal. Captain Tim advised that we move to the following day. He gave us easy instructions on what to expect and what to bring. And we just needed to show up! His boat was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. He went above and beyond for us, taking us to several fishing spots. We had our 3 boys with us, all in elementary school. They were thrilled with all of the time tgat they got to fish, as well as the fish they caught. Funny we were plenty satisfied with our afternoon, and Tim wanted to take us to one last spot. He gave us more of his time than he had to for this. And they caught a bunch of fish. He was knowledgeable, calm, easy-going, and overall gave us likely their best memory of our trip. To top it off, he cleaned a few of their fish for us to take. Our kids were so excited to have their catch for dinner that night. Thank you so much!!

    5 Star Fishing Adventure from start to finish!

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    Capt Tim is the man!!! Had an awesome day on the water with a great mix of species, like Black Drum, Spotted Trout, Mango Snapper, Sheepshead and Red Fish. Capt Tim clearly knows these waters inside and out. Super knowledgeable and where to go. At one point we had 5 Bald Eagles circling overhead and a River otter came over to check us out and our catch. The topper on the way back was watching the Dolphins feed in a pack and then the followed us riding our wake for quite a while. Left with a bunch of fish and great memories. We are going back to book with Capt Tim next time we’re in the area.

    Reported catch:

    Great Times

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 5 adults

    Cpt Tim did a great job with everyone and that includes a 3 year old and 4 year. He was patient and enthusiastic. We didn’t catch many but he took us to several spots in an effort to find the fish, and he allowed the four year to be his helper getting bait out of the live well which kept him involved. We will do the trip again

Cold weather = Hot bite!

Jan 3, 2026 • Spring Hill
Cooler water temps have the fish stacked back in the creeks and rivers trying to stay warm. Winter time in FL offers a unique opportunity to catch lots of fish and lots of species. Redfish, Trout, black drum, Sheepshead, pompano, are all biting well and customers are taking home lots of tasty fish for dinner!!

Old man winter has them chewing!

Dec 20, 2025 • Spring Hill
With the winter time cold fronts coming down one after another and water temperatures rising and falling daily we're having to chase the fish in and out of the creeks and rivers but when you find the right temperatures and conditions the fishing can be incredible!!

Summertime redfish are hot hot hot!

Aug 9, 2025 • Spring Hill
With the warmer summertime water temperatures the redfish are schooled up in big herds and moving to slightly deeper waters. Find the herds find the fun!! We're catching, keeping a limit and releasing dozens more on most trips right now. This is when our 30+ years of experience really pays off. When others are struggling to find fish Captain Tim has learned where they go and how to pattern them during the hot months making summer an awesome time to get out and catch some memories! Book soon to get in on the hot summertime action!
