Captain Tom has a great personality and is easy to get along with. He likes to move in a timely manner if the fish aren’t biting and gives helpful information and suggestions. I would definitely recommend him.

Tom’s boat and equipment is 1st class , he has knowledge of the bay and where to fine the fish. Tom is one of the best guide trips I’ve been on . I’m planning on coming back again and again. Thanks Tom for a great day.
