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.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
