Fishing in the inshore waters around Englewood with Captain Tim means you'll be exploring the inlets, back bays, and beach front surf around Manasota Key, Don Pedro Key, all the way down to Caya Costa occasionally as well. These productive waters are home to big Snook, Redfish, Trout, Sheepshead and all kinds of Snapper. Tarpon also inhabit these waters during the late spring and summer months. And when they're in town we highly recommend giving Tarpon fishing a shot!
...Read MoreCaptain Tim has spent his whole life on the water. Originally a commercial fisherman in the Northeast, he gradually transitioned into the charter business and moved to Florida 3 years ago. Captain Tim now operates as a full-time guide through his charter. His specialty in Port Charlotte is Tarpon fishing, but he'll help you catch pretty much anything that's biting around here! In his 40 years of experience, the largest Tarpon he ever caught was a whopping 200 lbs! Whether you're out to beat your own personal record or simply looking for a great first experience, Captain Tim welcomes you aboard.

This was our second charter with Tim and Lilly and they were great, of course! The first fish of the day was the one that got away, a huge snook that I couldn’t land. I saw my first manatee that wasn’t on tv. Then more showed up and it was clear ...Read More

Great experience with Captain Tim and the ships admiral Lillie (his yellow lab). We were not sure if the weather would cooperate but decided to give the trip a try anyhow. We had to stay in the bay due to rough waters in the Gulf. He took us to 2 ...Read More
