I booked an afternoon guided fishing trip on December 27th with Tim out of Orange Beach, and it turned out to be the perfect way to close out the year. The weather was crisp but comfortable, and the water was almost flat. From the moment we stepped aboard, Tim set the tone with his easygoing professionalism and clear passion for fishing.
The Tim wasted no time getting us on the fish. Within minutes of dropping lines, we were hooked up. The red snapper bite was steady all afternoon, and the guide’s knowledge of the local reefs and structure was obvious. Every spot we hit produced action, and he was quick with tips on technique.
What really stood out was the balance between fun and focus. Tim kept the atmosphere relaxed,  sharing stories and talking about life, but he was always attentive—rebaiting hooks, untangling lines, and making sure we had a chance to reel in something memorable. By the end of the trip, we had a nice bag of beautiful red snapper filets to take home.
If you’re looking for a winter fishing experience that delivers both excitement and great company, I’d book with this Tim again in a heartbeat.

We had a fantastic time with Captain Tim on the water. He knew exactly where to go off the breakwater and we caught our limit (and others we had to throw back) before we decided to go to ICW and fish for trout,  which we caught several. Tim cut and bagged our catch to take home. It was a wonderful and memorable fishing trip. We will definitely book another trip with Tim in the future.

All our son wanted for his birthday was to go fishing in the gulf. Mother Nature had different plans and we had to pivot to inshore fishing due to the rough waters. Tim was extremely polite, accommodating, and informative. He delivered a fantastic experience on the water for my family and would highly recommend. We’ll be back for another charter with Tim in the future.

Capt Tim was outstanding with my family. He was patient with two teenage sons and tried several different methods and places to catch fish. The bite all around us was slow, but we had some opportunities and just couldn’t capitalize. I highly recommend this catain and the trip.
