Charter Information

The Boat

Capt. Tim’s Custom built 20’ Aquasport bay boat safely accommodates up to 4 anglers in comfort and is fully USCG safety equipped. She is powered by a Suzuki 140hp four stroke engine and a Minn Kota 74lb.Thrust Riptide troll motor. She has 2 huge live bait/release wells and is totally outfitted with all rods, reels, tackle, lures, bait and 2 fully iced coolers. Electronic equipment includes an Eagle color depth/fish finder, GPS, VHF radio and cell phone. From Sea Trout to huge Tarpon and Sharks, this beauty does it all.

Charter Description

Using live bait and artificial lures, Capt. Tim specializes in light tackle and fly fishing for Snook, Redfish, Seatrout, Cobia and other inshore species along the mangrove shorelines and shallow grass flats from Tampa Bay to Clearwater. Capt. Tim is equally at home on the open waters of Tampa Bay and near shore Gulf of Mexico, where you’ll catch Tarpon, Grouper, Snapper, King and Spanish Mackerel, Permit and more. Night trips are also available for Snook, Seatrout, Redfish and Tarpon around residential dock lights and area bridges.

Fine Line Light Tackle Charters welcomes anglers of all skill levels, from seasoned experts, to first timers, and families with children. Capt. Tim works well with kids of all ages and watching them catch fish is guaranteed to make your day.

Although catch and release is encouraged, Capt. Tim is happy to fillet, bag and ice any fish you wish to eat, within legal limits of course.

What to Bring

Recommended items include food and drinks of your choice (alcohol in moderation), hats, soft soled shoes, sun block, sunglasses (polarized if possible) and a camera. A light rain jacket is also a good idea as early morning runs can sometimes be quite cool. If you prefer to use your own favorite rod, bring it along and Capt. Tim will rig it for you.

Pickup Points

With pick up points from St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs, it’s never a long boat ride to where the hot bite is. Though most charters are run out of the Gulfport Municipal Marina in Gulfport, pick-up can also be arranged at Maximo Park or O’Neill’s Marina in South St. Petersburg, Seminole Boat Ramp in Clearwater, and the Gandy Boat Ramp in Tampa. If your hotel has a dock, pickup can also be arranged there.
