TESTIMONIALS

2021

Jim, a regular client of Capt. Tim's from Arkansas, recently brought 9 friends of his down to do some fishing in Fort Pierce, FL.  There were 10 anglers using 5 guides for 7 days.  Below are some of their comments.

Our trip has been a big success.  My friends had a great time and you contributed to that significantly. 

Here are some direct quotes regarding you:
"Tim works very hard to make the day a success."
"Tim really knows what he is doing and has the right equipment and a comfortable boat."
"As soon as you arrive at a fishing location, Tim is putting poles in everyone's hands.  No time is wasted and no one is left as an observer."
"Tim comes to each trip with a game plan and with bait in the well."
"Tim was the only guide we worked with who gave us a boat and safety briefing, and told us where the life preservers were kept."
"Tim is genuinely a good guy and fun to be with.” 
And from Jim, the organizer of the trip "Everyone wants to be on your boat"

Dear Tim,
We wanted to thank you again for the fantastic moments we spent with you. It will remain a fantastic souvenir and I have particularly in mind the great catch of the shark, the red drum and the sea trout !!! Thank you again for your kindness, your good sandwiches and of course your knowledge about the good places to go fishing !!!

TIPS & TECHNIQUES
Whether you hire Capt. Tim or go fishing on your own, here are some useful tips . . .
While fishing with artificial LURES, there are many things you can do to improve your catch rate.  Here are some quick tips to try the next time you are out on the water.

1. Select a lure with a similar size shape and color to the predominant baitfish.
2. Make sure that your tackle is balanced(rod, reel, line, hooks and split rings)
3. Check out the action of every lure next to the boat before you fish with it.
4. If the action is not to your liking, alter or tune it so it is.
5. Look around, assess the water and select the fish's probable location before casting.
6. Vary your retrieve, from stopped, to reeling as fast as you can work it.
7. Your rate of retrieve should be based on the temp. of the water and it's clarity.
8. Imagine that you are a fish underwater, what retrieve would appeal to you?
9. Generally, the colder the water, the slower your retrieve should be.
10. Also, if the water is too warm(over 90) slow it down as there is not as much oxygen in the water as when the water is cold.
11. The more hooks on your lure, the harder you should "set the hook".
