Captain
Tim Stout

Member since December 2016 Spring Hill, United States
Background
Captain Tim has been fishing professionally for over 30 years and loves every minute he spends on the water. He loves the Weeki Wachee area as it is rich is different fish species and especially in Scallops. He is a generous and kind person who will share his extensive knowledge to make your trip a memorable adventure.
Techniques
Live bait, artificials, spinning gear, sight casting. Captain Tim and Seize the Bay Charters take great pride in being the premier Charter in the area. We go to great lengths and typically spend hours before each trip catching fresh live Scaled Sardines. (aka greenbacks, pilchards, whitebait...) to ensure we set ourselves apart from the others and stay on top of the fish and the rankings!
