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!

Fishing Reports

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!

Lots of redfish, snook and trout on rece

Nov 8, 2024 Spring Hill

As the water temperatures drop witn the cooler fall nights the fish are turning on nicely. Trout are moving up to the shallow feeding grounds redfish are really biting good fattening up for winter. Snook are retreating back to the mouths of the creeks and the fishing is hot! Book now! Dont miss out on the incredible fall bite!!

Redfish and snook are fired up!

May 25, 2024 Spring Hill
