I booked a tarpon excursion for May 13, 2023 with my son (13) Communication was a little rough before the trip as I did not receive a message or call to confirm the meeting point. I went to “show on map” directions in fishing booker and it took me to to a wrong location. I drove to another address that was listed and that one was correct. The tarpon did not cooperate with us for the trip, but that can be tarpon fishing. Captain Tim kept working to get us on a tarpon, but it seemed to be a rough day for all the tarpon boats. I was feeling bad because I wanted this so much for my son. It was a birthday gift. Tim proposed a plan B to do some shark fishing. I was feeling a little beat, but Tim went to the marina and purchased chum and bait for plan B. I appreciated what he was doing for us. Tim got my son hooked up with 4 small sharks and my son’s smiles chased away some of my rough feelings. Captain Tim let my son drive the boat for a bit on the way back. Tim also wanted us to fish around some docks on the way in and my son got a snapper. Tim figured it out and I am thankful to have gotten the shark fishing memories. I don’t believe all captain’s do plan B. Some tarpon captain’s don’t even put a rod and reel in the client’s hands. Thank you Captain Tim!

When I was in my 20’s I lived and worked in Boca Grande.  This was my first time back in 30 years to pursue the Silver Kings of the Pass. It was really special to share this part of my history with my wife and son. The boat is a little older than some of the others we were on during our trip,but was a very stable platform and did everything we needed it to.  We hooked up 7 plus tarpon during our trip, and landed two.  My wife and I had a double but mine broke off.  She landed hers after a 45 min epic battle. One of the highlights was sight casting to a pod of feeding tarpon on the surface and hooking up with one.  A lot of sore arms and smiles after this trip.

Had a very enjoyable experience with Captain Tim, who is a very friendly and knowledgeable fisherman. The fish were not biting but thanks to the captain’s experience we were able to land a number of small fish, not keepers but fun nonetheless. I highly recommend Captain Tim

Had an excellent time fishing with Captain Tim! We had our 11y/o boy with us and Capt. was very in tune with balancing keeping good action catching anything we could and also taking the time to target some bigger species like shark and Tarpon. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience or better company. 12/10 recommend!

The day was a tough one on the water. However, Cap’n kept after trying to get us on fish.  Caught puffer, Sheepshead, Grouper, and several other species. All in all it was a great time and Cap’n was very patient with the 13 Y/O boy that had issues following directions.  Entire family enjoyed Lilly, the dolphin spotting yellow lab.
