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.”

Thanks Tim, another great day with an amazing variety of species, job well done Captain!! We had a delicious fish fry last night too! Snapper was given the number #1 review with the Sheepshead hybrid a close second! I personally enjoyed the permit taste! My sister-in law doesn't eat fish from the ocean but she went back for seconds last night, we have a new fan! Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving! The Pics are Awesome too! Cheers!
