I have been fishing in the Gulf of Mexico my entire life, starting out at 18 as a commercial fisherman. I have fished my way up the ranks on the West Coast of Florida to be considered 'one of the best on the West'. I am the creator of the "Original Extreme Offshore Trip, taking anglers to the historic Middle Grounds for a trip of a lifetime. If you are looking to fill the box and make catches of a lifetime I am your guide. I also love to turn trips into family trips and take first time anglers or families offshore for full or half day charters as well. I think everyone should get the chance to live in my World and fish in the Gulf with me and my crew. Tight Lines, Capt. Tommy

Awesome is an understatement!!! As a Florida born, Clearwater native, salt water addict, life long fisherman, I can’t say enough about this trip. I’ve always owned boats and I’ve never taken a guided trip, as a native it feels like blasphemy. Captain Tommy is a blast to be around, a wealth of knowledge, and as passionate about fishing as anyone I’ve ever met. He’s driven by his desire to deliver results and be successful as a fisherman, it shows in every aspect of his service. He was as excited to put people on fish, as I think he might be to catch them for himself and that speaks volumes. He shares a lifetime of commitment to his passion, and everyone who’s fishing with Captain Tommy benefits. We caught stud fish all day! Don’t take my word for it. Pay the man and go fishing. Five stars isn’t enough.

If you are looking for a full ice box of fish and a great day on the water Captain Tommy is the best of the best. We caught just everything the gulf has to offer, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Red Snapper, Mango Snapper, Lane snapper, Porgy, and Mahi. He has a beautiful boat and great tackle, stop scrolling and go book him, you won’t be disappointed.

She picked us up, brought us to her boat with her Captain Alex. Who was incredible with my father. An older man who he treated with great respect and made sure that this was the fishing trip on a lifetime. He was knowledgeable funny and gracious. We actually got tired from catching so many fish. Did I mention their boat? There are 34" SeaVee gave me boat envy. I can't say enough about these two people who went above and beyond to make sure that we had a fantastic day. At the end of the day, Misty took us back to her car, which by now it was fixed. Because of this wonderful person we didn't miss a thing. Thank you.!

We could have had a lot more if those dang sharks were not everywhere, but we still filled the box. AND to end the day, we caught a diamondback rattler crossing the inlet. It was some kind of crazy and I am sure we will have a lasting memory for the rest of our lives…

Thanks Tommy & Alex, we had a fantastic time and I look forward to hopefully booking again with you real soon!

We made a full 8 hr trip with Capt. Tommy and his mate Alex. Fishing started out hot but slowed down later in the day, but fishing on a full moon is never ideal.

If you want to catch fish, better call and get on board. Hardest working captain I’ve ever seen in my 20 years of offshore fishing. Not only did we limit out in multiple species captain Tommy gave us a great experience and let us do what we wanted to. captain Tommy has the go to spots for big snapper,grouper, and sport fish as well.
