Ratings & Reviews Summary

Let me tell you, Captain Tim of the Margarita is one extraordinary captain. He knows exactly where the fish are and when they'll be biting. I had the pleasure of fishing with him during the Oakdale tournament on Long Island this fall, where we ended up winning. A week later, we snagged the prize for the biggest striped bass at the Paul tournament. I've also chartered with him a few times for Tuna, and it's always been a blast. We even had some giants on the line the first day, though we had to let them go as they were too big. However, we did land a nice 78-pound bluefin. Fishing with him is always a pleasure, and I can't wait to get back on the boat with him soon.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to fish with Tim. It was truly the best day ever. He treated us like old friends from the moment we stepped on the boat. Every time we've gone back, it's been even better. We caught some huge bass and had an absolute blast. Tim is simply the best, and anyone would be lucky to arrange a trip with him. Plus, if the fishing conditions aren't ideal, he's quick to call and reschedule.
