A great day was had by our family of four. Captain Tim did an awesome job and we highly recommend him for a family adventure. It was fun and the time flew-we caught lots of fish but only kept what we could eat that night for dinner.
Thanks! A real pleasure to fish with you guys. Come back soon.
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.
Thank y’all so much!! it was a pleasure to have you guys on the boat and y’all did great! I’m grateful for folks like yourself, yall made my job easier. Hopefully, we’ll be able to do again in the future, next time we’ll get ya one the fly rod.🎣
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!
Thank Ya’ll 🎣 It was pleasure to have you 2 on board today!
Capt. Tim was a great guy, very personable and funny. Not only did we enjoy our time being on thr boat with him, but we also caught fish! He cleaned them for us and directed us to a great restaurant that cooked them up for us. We had so much fish, the wait staff got to take plenty home too. We will definitely be booking with him again.
Hey Thanks Paul! You guys were great!! Made my job easy! See ya later in the summer for some Tarpon action 🎣
Captain Tim knew where to find the fish. We caught Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Red Fish, and several others. We had a great time and recommend booking with him.
