Englewood Fishing Report

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.

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.

May 16, 2025

Surprised my husband with the 1/2 day a.m. trip for Father’s Day. It wasn’t the best day for fishing but Capt. Tim never gave up trying to keep us on something and keep the kids happy. We managed to bring home several trout, a few mangrove snappers, and caught several that we couldn’t keep. Even had a shark snatch one off my line right at the boat! We will definitely be back for a longer trip!

Great day fishing with Capt Tim! Put us on fish, hooked us into some monsters and made us laugh when the dolphins stole our catch! Highly recommend for the money. Don’t eat the puffer fish

Captain Tim's expertise truly shone during our outing! His knowledge of the best fishing locations, the ideal tackle setups, and bait choices ensured a highly successful trip. Beyond his competence, he exhibited kindness, professionalism, and exceptional patience. Initially, we anticipated a day of catching smaller fish offshore, but the highlight of our adventure was our son's thrilling experience reeling in an impressive 8-foot shark! Tim's dedication to providing us with an extraordinary experience was evident, and he even granted us the opportunity to take a refreshing swim at the beach. We wholeheartedly endorse Captain Tim and are already planning more excursions with him in the future. Our investment in this trip was unquestionably worthwhile, fulfilling the dreams of our avid outdoorsmen. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-time fisher, Tim comes highly recommended for an unforgettable adventure.

Our initial plans with another company fell through, and in hindsight, it was a fortunate turn of events because Tim provided us with exceptional service! With our family of four on board, Tim ensured our fishing lines were always well-stocked with bait and the excitement never waned. He put in dedicated efforts to guarantee we had successful catches and introduced us to some fascinating fish species. To top it off, he expertly filleted the fish we were able to keep. We're already in the process of scheduling another trip with him for the upcoming Tarpon season.

May 16, 2025

I had reserved a Tarpon fishing trip for May 13, 2023, with my 13-year-old son. While there were some communication challenges leading up to the trip, as I hadn't received any confirmation messages or calls regarding the meeting point, things took a slightly rocky start. When I attempted to access the "show on map" directions in Fishing Booker, it directed me to the wrong location. Subsequently, I drove to another address listed, which turned out to be the correct one. Regrettably, the Tarpon didn't prove very cooperative during our excursion, but that's often the nature of Tarpon fishing. Nevertheless, Captain Tim persevered, making every effort to give us a chance at hooking a Tarpon. Unfortunately, it appeared to be a tough day for all the Tarpon boats in the area. I felt disheartened, especially since this trip was a special birthday gift for my son. In a commendable display of flexibility, Captain Tim proposed a Plan B, suggesting we switch to some shark fishing. Although I was somewhat discouraged, Tim went the extra mile by heading to the marina to secure chum and bait for our new plan. I genuinely appreciated his dedication to ensuring we had a memorable experience. Tim succeeded in getting my son connected with four small sharks, and the sight of my son's beaming smiles did wonders to dispel some of my initial disappointment. Captain Tim even went a step further by allowing my son to take the helm of the boat for a brief period on the return journey. Moreover, he suggested some dockside fishing as we headed back, resulting in my son catching a snapper. Tim's adaptability and commitment meant a lot to me, and I am grateful for the enduring memories of our shark fishing adventure. It's worth noting that not all captains would have readily embraced a Plan B. Some Tarpon captains might not have even allowed their clients to handle a rod and reel. For that reason, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Captain Tim for going above and beyond to make our day on the water a memorable and enjoyable experience. Thank you, Captain Tim!
