Born and raised in the United Kingdom, I grew up fishing the rivers and reservoirs, mainly fly fishing for trout. I have been fishing the waters of Charlotte Harbor and the Peace River for 20 years chasing Tarpon, Redfish, Snook, Trout and many more species.

I run a 2025 25' Haynie Magnum bay boat completely customized for comfort and fishability. The peace river and charlotte harbor offer endless opportunities to catch many species of fish. The fishing is not just excellent but the scenery is something special too. Join me for an experience you won't regret!

About Your Trip

Once clientele are comfy and settled on Captain Toms 2025 25' custom Haynie, we make way to our first fishing spot and usually have lines in the water within 10 minutes of departure. Tom will provide premium fishing tackle, custom made reaper rods and shimano reels. Live bait fishing is the most common method used to make sure you will be catching as many fish as your captain can put you on. Targeted species are snook, trout, redfish, jacks, snapper and juvenile tarpon. August thru to October are prime months for big Tarpon.

Captain Tom will have you covered for fishing licenses under his own license. He will also have a large cooler full of ice and water, please bring along any specific beverages you wish to consume along with snacks and lunch. Alcoholic beverages are welcome. Captain Toms 25' Haynie has plenty of dry storage to keep personal belongings safe and dry.

Captain Tom is also happy to give advice and guidance on hotels and local restaurants. Tom tries to practice catch and release but should you wish to take fish with you, Tom will clean trout, snapper and cobia for his clients.
