Captain Tim was everything we could have wished for in our 4 hour charter. He got us on fish early and we were catching fish through our last casts. Enjoyed bringing reds, trout, and snook in the boat. He’s got a great setup from boat, to rods, reels and tackle. Shows up prepared and ready to go. Charismatic and super knowledgeable about the waters off Tampa / Bradenton / Sarasota. A must if you’re in the area and want to catch fish.

Our scheduled trip was perfectly on time. Captain Tim was at the dock and ready to go. His boat was well maintained and clean. The weather was a little overcast and a chance of rain. He took us upstream. on the Manatee River. He knows the locations to stop and fish. His fishing equipment was updated, and all needed bait and reels were set to fish.  We had a party of four, two adults and two children. We all caught fish and in fact we had two keepers. Captain Tim prepared the keepers into nice filets, which we had for dinner that night.
Highly recommend Captain Tim, book with him and you will have fun a catch fish.

We were floating shrimp soon after departing the dock and the speckled trout were biting voraciously.  We caught so many that we decided to try a different location up the river where we boated a few more varieties including a nice Redfish we will have later for a meal.  January is chilly and his boat is fast so we are glad we wore the North Face jackets.
