Captain Tommy is a lifelong fisherman with 20+ years fishing the Tampa Bay area. After retiring from the corporate world he has turned his full attention to the thing he loves...fishing. There is nothing he likes more than the the thrill of watching others catch fish, whether it's an experienced angler catching "the" fish or a first timer feeling the pull of fish on the other end of the line.

Captain Tommy is awesome! I searched through all the guides for a Tampa Bay fishing trip. Decided to pick Tommy because he would take take kids. And while my son and I aren't kids, I figured he must be a patient man. Boy was I right! We aren't novice fisherman by any means, but I don't particularly like a judgmental guide. Captain Tommy is great, gave us lots of options. I specifically said we just wanted action, and we sure got that. Seven hour charter under the absolute worst conditions! Absolute low tide with a full moon cycle at the start. We ended up with 52 fish landed.

Response from Tommy:
John, it was a pleasure having you and Mark on-board. You two are definitely not novice anglers and it showed. I appreciate the kind words. Next time you're in the Tampa Bay area please consider fishing with me again! Capt. Tommy

We had an awesome day on the water with Tommy! He kept us on the fish and sharks all day. If you are looking for an experience like you are out fishing with one of your buddies, Tommy is the type of guide for you.
