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

Big Wahoo on Live Bait!
Mar 21, 2024 Fernandina Beach
This trip was amazing! 4 Wahoo up to 70lbs caught on light tackle while live baiting! Yes the fights were awesome and the fish were tasty. These folks went home with over 100lbs in Wahoo fillets! **My personal highlight of the day was when a 13-14ft Great White Shark swam 6 feet away from the boat!!! It was an amazing sight!!
