Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Tim consistently delivers exceptional fishing results, putting clients on redfish, snook, trout, grouper, cobia, and even tiger sharks. Customers regularly report catching 30-40 redfish per trip, with multiple double and triple hookups. He knows exactly where to find slot-sized and oversized fish based on tides and conditions. Tim provides top-tier equipment and starts each trip by securing fresh bait, ensuring non-stop action from morning until evening. Tim creates memorable experiences for everyone from 6-year-olds to 89-year-old anglers, showing remarkable patience with beginners while letting experienced fishers work independently. He goes above and beyond by including extra bait-catching time, cleaning and filleting catches, and even recommending restaurants to cook your fish. Customers frequently mention his relentless work ethic and determination to ensure everyone catches fish before heading home. Many clients book multiple trips and consistently recommend Tim to family and friends.

Trip - Morning Inshore Fishing Charter Homosassa Redfish & Black Drum on September 2, 2025

7:00 AM - 11:00 AM

We went out with Captain Tim at Seize the Bay Charters in Weeki Wachee and had an awesome day on the water. There were 5 of us (3 adults and 2 kids) and we caught a bunch of different fish – Jackfish, Ladyfish, Redfish, Cobia, and even some Catfish. Tim was super focused on making sure we got into fish, and he didn’t let up until we did. The boat ride itself was just as cool as the fishing. We had dolphins come right up to the boat and saw stingrays gliding around too. The kids couldn’t stop talking about it. The boat is a little on the small side, but it worked fine for our group and kept things comfortable and personal. Overall, a great mix of fishing and sightseeing. If you’re looking for a charter in the area, Captain Tim is your guy.

We had an absolute blast on this charter! Tim took us to some amazing spots, making our trip to Florida truly unforgettable. I highly recommend this charter to anyone staying in the Weeki Wachee area. We caught lots of Ladyfish, Remora, and Red Drum. To top it off, we even spotted dolphins on our way back—it was an amazing time!

Captain Tim always puts us on the fish! I’ve booked multiple trips with Seize The Bay and he never disappoints! Snook, Redfish, Trout, Jacks; he knows the spots. Not little fish either, slot or over. I’ll definitely be fishing with him again. Highly recommend!

I've taken different charters over the years. Tim is by far one of the best I've ever had the privilege to fish with. He's knowledgeable and very informative. When you love your job, it's not work. Tim is a prime example of this statement.

Tim. Was. Awesome. He went above & beyond to get us on some fish. He even let us tag along to catch bait in the morning to give us some extra time out on the water. Got some reds, catfish, jacks -- the works! Definitely going to catch Tim again next time I'm out there, and hopefully it'll be prime tarpon season.

We absolutely crushed it today! After catching plenty of Red Drum inshore, we changed gears and headed out for some grunts. That's when Timothy Stout spotted a Grouper, told me exactly where to cast, and the rest was history! Not many can say they've spot casted a keeper Red Grouper, but now I can, thanks to Tim. I'll be back again—I 100% recommend Tim with Seize The Bay Fishing Charters!
