Meet Guide Tim Stout
Meet The Veteran Fisherman Of Weeki Wachee, Florida, Captain Tim of Seize The Bay Fishing Charters and His 21' Shallow Sport Boat
Captain Tim is a lifelong fisherman with over 40 years of professional experience on the water, and he still wakes up excited for every single trip. Raised with strong values by a hardworking father, Tim learned early on that success comes from dedication, patience, and knowing when to act—lessons that shaped him into the guide he is today. His calm, focused approach to fishing reflects those early life lessons, making him not only a skilled angler but a steady, reliable presence on every charter.
While Tim certainly has the skills to land trophy fish, his real passion lies in helping others discover the joy of fishing. He takes great pride in guiding anglers of all ages and experience levels, especially beginners and kids. Guests frequently note how welcoming and encouraging he is, often saying it feels like fishing with a longtime friend. Whether it's your first time holding a rod or you're back for another trip, Captain Tim brings a sense of ease, fun, and mentorship to every outing.
Captain Tim isn’t just there to drive the boat—he’s fully invested in making every day on the water meaningful. He has a deep connection to the Homosassa area and knows the creeks, flats, and backcountry waters like the back of his hand. His ability to read the tides, track the bite, and adjust on the fly keeps the action going, and his easygoing personality ensures that no matter the outcome, you’ll leave with great memories and new stories to tell.
About The Boat
The vessel you'll be fishing on is a 21’ Kenner center console, powered by a reliable 200 HP Yamaha engine and designed for shallow water performance. With room for up to six anglers, it’s a great platform for both serious fishing and relaxed family trips. The tunnel hull allows smooth access to skinny water, while the modified V-hull ensures a stable, dry ride even when conditions get choppy. Outfitted with top-notch navigational electronics, a fish finder, wireless trolling motor, and live well, the boat is fully equipped for productive days on the water. Snorkeling gear is also available for guests who want to explore the Gulf’s clear shallows.
