    Captain Tim from Red Hot! Let’s go Fishing charter is the guy you want to pick for a great day of fishing. He knows where the fish are and how to catch them. We fished different ways and caught 5 different species of fish. The sheephead we caught were a nice size and ate them for dinner that night. Delicious!! My son and I had a great day of fishing with Captain Tim and will be booking him again!!

    We had an absolutely fantastic day out on the water with Tim! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. Tim is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what he does. He made everyone feel comfortable and ensured we were always in the best spots to reel in some great catches. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect—clear skies, calm waters, and just the right breeze to make the day even more enjoyable. It truly felt like the ideal setting for a memorable fishing trip. Tim went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and that we were having a great time. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for a fun day on the water, I can’t recommend a trip with Tim enough. We’ll definitely be booking again! 🎣🌊

    Tyler was amazing with our 6 year old. Despite the unusually cold temperatures, Tyler was able to put us on the fish. We caught more game fish on this tour than the three years prior with other guides in more favorable conditions. Tyler did a fantastic job. Thank you for the wonderful memories with our family, Tyler!

    Captain Tim was a great host. He knows the back bays like they are his backyard. Took us to many different spots and we were able to get into same great fish. Tim was also great with my 14, 12, and 7 year old kids. Would call Tim again for a trip next time we are in town.
