June fishing trip

4 Hour Trip (PM) – Private Fishing2 adults
Response from Captain

Less than ideal reviews are important to me. I wish you had expressed what you saw as shortcomings. Allow me to express my perspective. The trip was booked for 2 people. You presented at the dock as 4. I scrambled to accomodate and made do of an awkward situation. The fishing I offer is called "Family Fun Fishing". That's why it is so affordable. If you want Tuna and Mahi the going rate for 4 is 12-15 hundred $. You got a discount on your discount by not paying Fishingbooker the deposit they were due for two extra people. As for the fishing itself we caught 5 different species of fish including 2 flounder. I offered to clean your legal size fish for you but you " were holding out for the big one" your choice. On an afternoon that had 20-30 mph winds I kept most of your party dry and comfortable. You got wet because you ignored my request to sit closer to the center of the vessel. Sorry. And the cherry on top was the cigarette butts in my cup holder and on my fore deck. I will try harder at my end. C.T.

    Captain Tim gave us an amazing trip!

    Seafood Feast Adventure A.M. • 4 adults • 2 children

    We took a seafood feast trip with Captain Tim and had a FANTASTIC time! We started by checking several crab traps he'd set previously and netted four crabs to keep. We caught a good handful of spot fish, then the highlight of the trip - clamming! We had a BLAST clamming on the mud flats and looking at all the wildlife. Captain Tim was great with the kids - just the right about of helpful - and shared a lot of info about what we were doing and why. He definitely knew his stuff and moved us around when the fish weren't biting. We'd absolutely go out with Tim again - the four hours absolutely flew by .

    Thank you, Nicole,. Great family, great morning!

    July fishing trip

    4 Hour Trip (AM) – Private Fishing • 1 adult

    Trip was good even if fishing success was difficult. Recent weather appears to have had a negative impact on fishing. Several heavy rain storms in the days leading up to the trip dropped excessive rain fall amounts throughout the region. Rain fall totals were in excess of 6 inches. Heavy winds during the storms also contributed to poor water clarity. I have fished with Captain Tim several times in recent years. All those trips were successful and well worth the effort. During this most recent trip, Captain Tim worked hard to find fish moving to many spots to locate cooperative fish, but Mother Nature had other plans.

    Great Time with Capt. Tim!

    Family Fun Fishing P.M. • 2 adults

    Great boat for fishing- lots of horizontal surfaces for sitting and fishing, stable in the water. Bimini top to keep you cool. Capt. Tim was great- very chill, down to earth, knowledgeable and motivated. We caught over 40 fish, 6 different species. More than enough for family dinner despite having a few a bit too small. Saw some wildlife while on the water, from feeding dolphins to a "cannonball" jellyfish. Beautiful views all around. Would defintely book Capt. Tim again.

    Great Trip! Would Book Again.

    4 Hour Trip (AM) – Private Fishing • 3 adults

    Captain Tim knew where all the good fishing spots were and knew when to keep fishing an area or move to another spot. He did a great job of giving us instructions and sharing his fishing knowledge. The fishing conditions during our trip were not the most ideal, but we still were able to catch some nice fish and had plenty of fish to take home with us. Would highly recommended Captain Tim to anyone who wants to fish regardless of experience level. Thanks Tim!
