As a fisherman, I know that the catching part of the fishing relies on a number of factors. The negative factors were in play when my son-in-law and grandson went fishing for Mango Snappers in September 2021 with Captain Charlton, including how we were holding our mouths while fishing.(That’s an oldy but goodie) My point! It was a great day of fishing. Captain Charlton was determined to get us on the fish. I know my back couldn’t have outlasted the number of times he raised the anchor to move us into position. Alas! It was not to be. But that fact will not keep me from coming back. His professional and genuine interest in his charges were outstanding. His knowledge of the area and the fishing possibilities we excellent. The inability of matching school and work schedules made it impossible to schedule another outing with the Captain during the remaining time I was in Florida. Next Time! Lord willing and global warming want flood downtown Tampa.

First, Capt Tom is just a genuinely nice person which not to be granted these days. He was very responsive with the texts letting us know where to meet, when he would be there. He even took the time to get the bait fish prior to meeting us. We only had to hit two spots and then we were just sitting there catching fish after fish! I would definitely recommend Capt Tom! He made our trip! Thank you Tom!
Captain Tom was fantastic and very professional. Arrive exactly on time, promptly responded to questions and seemingly enjoyed the outdoors. While we only landed 2 smaller fish, the Captain did take us to where the fish were as there were schools all around us, just being more fickle this morning. Would most definitely come use the Captain again. Also very happy that his Mako boat led to very smooth sailing around the bay as we went from spot to spot. A fun morning before I hopped on my flight out.

My wife and I recently flew down to Tampa for a day of fishing and taking in a game at George M Steinbrenner Stadium. Both we’re great experiences as the Yankees beat the Phillies and we got to fish with a superb Captain on one of my favorite water crafts. While we experienced a lockjaw producing cold front that saw the water temps from ten degrees into the low sixties coupled with a south wind at 20 knots, Captain Tom scoured the Bay in search of are targeted fish. He put us on redfish but a few short hits was all that we could produce. Tom took us on a couple extra runs beyond our normal fare in hopes of finding some action. As a owner of a Boston Whaler Montauk taking friends on both productive and lean missions, I am keenly aware that sometimes no matter what the location and technique, it just doesn’t happen. I was so impressed with Toms knowledge and desire to catch fish, we look forward to going out with him again. I encourage anyone who wants to hire a true professional, book a trip with Captain Tom
