Capt. Tom has 30 years of experience and has championed and chartered all types of weather conditions on the water to find the perfect spots for catching Snook, Trout, Redfish, Grouper, Snapper, Cobia, and Shark! Tampa Bay waters have been a premier fishing destination for more than 30 years.

Capt. Tom fishes 7 days a week covering 400 sq miles of Tampa Bay's inshore waters! Weather permitting of course! We're ready to hook your adventure whether you're looking for some light tackle action on the shallows (flats) for Snook, Speckled Trout and Redfish or some heavy tackle action to reel in deep water Grouper, Snapper and Cobia!!

Capt. Tom can teach you the easiest way to reel them onto your plate! Relax and enjoy the shimmering waters, while Capt. Tom does all the work. At the end of journey, he'll clean and bag all the fish for you. Don't forget to ask him for one of his mouth-watering recipes if you need a cooking tip for your catch.
