Join Captain Timothy on the waters of Coastal Georgia and have a great time chasing fish and enjoying our beautiful coast. For 25+ years I've been in the Restaurant hospitality industry so I could fish days and work at night. My passion for the last 14 years has been fishing professional tournaments for Redfish from Texas to South Carolina with a little bit of success.

    Great day of fishing!

    4 Hour Fishing trip (AM)4 adults

    4 hour fishing trip for a famly of 4 with two teen boys. Captain was very knowledgeable about the waterways, local wildlife, fish and local area. We enjoyed netting bait then went to 3 different fishing sites catching fish at all 3. Black Drum, pigfish, lots of different trout and catfish mostly. We saw dolphins, gators, sea turtles, lots of birds fishing and lots of Tarpon which looks like sharks breaching the water. Great trip and we highly recommend.

    Reported catch:
    Black Drum
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout
    Flounder

    FANTASTIC fishing experience. HIGHLY recommended.

    4 Hour Trip (PM)2 adults

    We were looking for a half day guided inshore fishing trip out of Jekyll Island GA to target bull redfish. Several options were available, but Spartina offered both light tackle and fly fishing opportunities which we wanted. The photos promised beautiful fish - the big question was could we catch one of those gorgeous reds. I have medical issues, and messaged the Captain to make sure that he was aware of those and OK with my physical situation. He reassured us we’d be fine. We used the booking app to set the date and dialogue. Captain Tim was prompt responding to queries and made slight rendezvous adjustments to minimize travel time on the water - his instructions were clear and we had no problem connecting at the designated dock. Captain Tim’s local knowledge of the local waters is extensive, and he understands the feeding behaviours of target species as well. He quickly assessed our fishing skills (so-so), gave us clear and encouraging coaching, and before we knew it we were catching fish. I wont lie - the fishing was not non stop action - we had to work and pay attention - but Captain Tim’s patience and positive encouragement paid off that afternoon. He was totally focused on giving us every opportunity to catch quality fish - and it was very clear that he was enjoying the challenge to fulfill our dreams. I caught the beautiful bull red I wanted - a trophy photo I’ll cherish forever, my wife caught her bull red dream fish with amazing tail spots, and we caught speckled trout (one gator!) and black drum as well. Throughout, Captain Tim entertained us with local history, fishing lore, and those insights borne of detailed observation that leave memories. The experience with Spartina was easily the best we’ve ever had, and we’d probably say the same thing even if we hadn’t caught fish - the comaradarie on board was that good.

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout

    Amazing gift for a fisherman

    3/4 Day Inshore/Nearshore2 adults

    Captain Tim was very personable and knowledgeable about the area and sea life. He made the trip enjoyable with his humor and all the gear being provided and helping us cast and bait our lines. We were able to catch multiple sea trout, red fish, a silver perch and weak fish. Even if you're not an expert at fishing saltwater like us, he is very patient and teaches well. We recommend highly!
