Great fishing captain and trip

4 Hour Trip (AM)2 adults

My friend and I hired Captain Thomas for a 1/2-day Inshore trip in Tampa Bay. It’s been a long time since we had fished, but Captain Thomas was great in getting us going and making this an awesome trip. Captain Thomas knew right where to fish and we had a great haul of Bonnethead Sharks and Mangrove Snapper. We brought home enough for many many meals. Captain Thomas also had great suggestions for how to prepare our catch, and I have to say that this was some of the most delicious fish I have ever had. I would highly recommend Captain Thomas and Take a Day Off Fishing Charters.

Response from Captain

It was such a pleasure to fish you gentlemen! Thank you so much for choosing me as your guide and I’m glad you enjoyed the fish!!

    4 Hour Morning Trip

    4 Hour Trip (AM)4 adults

    Great Mother's Day morning trip with Captain Tom! Very knowledgeable about the waters and the fish. My mom had a blast - which was the most important part, but as an added bonus she caught the first fish! We caught several large fish, and were able to enjoy a beautiful sunny day on the bay! Great attitude and playlist. Super fun trip and we will be back next time we're in the area!

    Response from Captain

    Half Day with Captain Thomas

    4 Hour Trip (AM)3 adults1 child

    My kids an I had an amazing time. Thomas took us right away to a great spot and started us all off each catching a few sharks. We moved to a different area and continued to have luck catching redfin. Thomas was knowledgeable, friendly and made all of us feel our needs were important. I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants to have a great experience!

    Response from Captain

    Half day trip with Captain Thomas

    4 Hour Trip (AM)3 adults

    The fish weren’t biting much, but he kids and I had a great day. Captain Thomas took us to a variety of spots to fish, where there were plenty of fish, they just weren’t hungry! I would definitely tell anyone, any level of experience, to go out for a day with Captain Thomas! Thanks for a great trip!!

    Response from Captain

    You guys are an amazing beautiful family!!! I wish the fish were a little bit more active but a great day with you guys on the water!
