Hello Captain Tim, Words cannot express the great time we had fishing with you the last two weeks. Having guided the group I take to Canada the last thirty years it is not the easiest thing to put people on fish every day and have the fish bite. You are a class act and I can't wait until next year to go fishing with you again. Your first concern was to make us happy. You made sure we had plenty of bait; you baited our hooks and helped when needed to remove fish from our hooks. Your manner of educating us was very helpful. Any parent would love to have you teach their children how to fish. Any one would be grateful to learn from you as well. I will put lighter line on my reels next time to increase my casting distance. Sometimes two or three feet more in a cast made the difference as to FISH ON or not. You didn't even get mad when I put mud in your boat from my shoes. I will not do that again. I consider myself an experienced freshwater fisherman but I learned so much from you that all my all my saltwater fishing success in the past was more by luck and not knowledge. You showed us that tide movement was everything. You showed us your way of tying the hook to the line with a loop knot and the leader to the braided line. I will surely use those knots when we head to CANADA next month. We still have a spot open for Canada, all you need is a little cash, a passport and transportation to WV.
Again many thanks,
"FISH ON"

Captain Tim, Your infinite patience, casting assistance and obvious enthusiasm for your work made Saturday's fishing trip one to remember. I don't think Bob will forget the single cast 11 lb red he caught any time soon. For a fishing novice, your instruction was right on the money. I had not been to Florida for more than 15 years, but I now look forward to the next opportunity to try my new-found knowledge (not expertise, but at least knowledge) to catch Red fish. It was a great time. Send along any photos you have on your camera to me so that I can show off the catch to a couple of people who travel to your area fairly often and may wish to use your services. Thanks again for a great time. Bruce Gillaspie

Dear Capt Tim.  While the fishing was a bit slow due the coldfront the night before....You  did a great job in finding fish and working for hook-ups.  I am very satisfied with your performance and for the fishing opportunities.  I have a subscription to a publication call "The Angling Report" and I will be giving you high marks in the upcomming issue.  I will be fishing with you again.

Dear Capt Tim,  The kids and I had a blast fishing with you ..Your knowledge of the backcountry and laid back personality made the day so relaxing for me and the kids. I thought you would appreciate the attached picture. Look foward to fishing with you next year !!!  Leon F. Szeptycki

Captain Tim, I wanted to express to you how much I enjoyed the day that I spent fishing with you. I think the word that best describes the day is “Wow”. The feeding frenzy of birds and fish that made you resort to, as you say, “Run & Gun” was an experience that I will cherish and never forget. The only way to explain those circumstances is complete mayhem, with the Shark that took the Blue Runner and ripped the line from the reel until that barrel rolled leap from the water that cut the line, not to mention my first Snook catch (picture attached), is a Marco Island memory that will last forever. Your attention to detail, professionalism and overall friendly demeanor is very genuine and truly a breath of fresh air. I can’t imagine anyone that wouldn’t want to their friends, family or kids to experience what you offer. I’m definitely going to book with you again next year and can’t wait to hear the wonderful sound of “Fish On” and the reel singing. Sincerely, Andrew Perry

Dear CAPT Tim, Just a note to let you know how much we enjoyed the fly fishing with you.. My son and I learned enough to make our future fly fish outings that much more enjoyable. My son got really "bit" from his first experience at fly fishing, and will be only getting better. I know guiding two novice fly fisherma wasnt easy but you made it fun and enjoyable.... Fishing for snook turned out to be a very exciting and rewarding experience,unlike any other. We will definitely be back !!!! again, thank you for an unforgettable allaround experience.

Captain Tim Daugherty,
Just wanted to drop you a short note on how much me and my sister enjoyed our fishing trip. You were on-time, courteous, patient and put us on a lot of fish. It was just a terrific experience!
I just wish I wouldn't had lost that big snook in the mangroves...oh well maybe next time!
In addition I would have no hesitation in recommending your guide service to anyone considering a fishing trip in southwest Florida.
Best wishes,
David J. Crouch
