Captain
Thomas Brotzman

Member since September 2020 Freeport, United States

Background: Captain Thomas simply loves being on the water. He enjoys watching the sunrise and seeing wildlife in its natural surroundings. When the sun peeks over the horizon he'll usually stop to take a picture of the scene. He has studied fish behavior and he knows how it acts in various situations and how to catch it. Some of the factors which affect fish behavior are the depth, temperatures, water clarity, salinity levels, tidal ebb and flow, and other.
Techniques: Captain Thomas prefers fishing with artificial lures. If the area is right, he'll catch fish using soft plastics on a jig head.

Bull Reds out of the Freeport jetties

Wave height was .08 ft. 39’ of water. Made for a beautiful day to get out past the jetties. Found a school of fish, and dropped anchor upwind drifting back over the school. Dropped all the way to bottom and then about three cranks up. Bam. Fish on.

Booked the 6 PM - 10 PM trip for my wife and I. We arrived early and Capt. Tom was already waiting, ready to go. Solid boat, quality equipment and PLENTY of fresh, live bait. Capt. Tom was very knowledgeable, had numerous spots if the bite slowed and put us on fish at every stop. We caught six different species of fish, and had a great time.

Had a great time fishing with Captain Thomas. Super hot day and fishing was a little tough. We still caught a bunch of trout including one that was huge. Thomas was very patient with my two kids who didn’t have a ton of experience fishing. Cold drinks were provided.
