Here is a possible short fishing report about a fishing trip in Lemon Bay with Captain Tim’s POV: I had a fantastic day of fishing in Lemon Bay with two wonderful guests from MM Charters. They wanted to try some inshore fishing for Pompano and redfish, and I was excited to take them to some of my secret spots. We left the dock early in the morning and headed to the bay. The weather was ideal, sunny and breezy, and the water was clear and calm. We used light tackle and jigging techniques to catch the fish. The Pompano were very fast and agile. They have silvery scales and yellow fins. They are also very tasty and make a good meal. The redfish were also eager and plentiful. They have a distinctive black spot on their tail and can grow up to 45 inches. They are one of the most popular game fish in Florida and are also delicious to eat.

It was a very fun and easy going journey. He was eager to share his knowledge of the waterways and the fish in the area. The day featured good music and good times. We were able to catch a wide variety of fish which was exciting for my sons and I as we are new to open water ocean fishing. He was very patient with my two youngest sons ages 8 and 10 with rebating hooks after they had their bait skinned every now and then.

We went on a half day trip and a 6 hour tarpon trip all in one week. Captain tim put us right on the fish and did a great job. He is very patient with our 6 and 9 year old boys also and made sure they were baited and ready to go. If you want a good fishing charter for a reasonable price go with Tim.

Captain Tim was so kind and patient with my 12-year-old grandson and me. He made sure we both had a great time on the water!
