Timothy Altman

Member since August 2020 Fernandina Beach, United States
Background
Capt Tim says he became a Charter Captain because he loves to put people on fish and is committed to go the extra mile to do so. He has been fishing all of his life, but for the last 25 years, he's concentrated mostly offshore and in competitive tournament fishing. His real joy is watching someone catch something they've only dreamed about. Capt. Tim is a retired military veteran, serving on active duty from 1981 to 2009. He created the Facebook Group "Wahoo Junkies" that has around 12,000 members worldwide. Tim has been featured in the Florida Sportsman Magazine and does High-Speed Wahoo Trolling seminars throughout the state for the Florida Sportsman Expos. In addition, he authors 2 for columns for Florida print publications and does Podcasts and Livestreams about Offshore Fishing. So if you're willing, there is a great chance your charter would be featured in one of his media outlets with pictures of your epic day. Fishing is his passion.
Techniques
Specializes in High Speed Wahoo Trolling, slow trolling, Kite Fishing, Live bait fishing and bottom fishing.
