Full Day Fishing Trip
Blind Date Charters and Captain Tom are the real deal! State of the art boat/equipment and knowledge of where the fish are. We did a full day charter off-shore and had fish in the boat within the first 5 minutes of fishing. We limited out on Red Grouper and nailed some Snapper. Captain Tom knows what he is doing, loves to joke around, makes sure you have a lot fun and has a library of great spots to fish. All we wanted to do was put our boys on some fish and Captain Tom delivered and then some!
