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.

Captain Tim did a great job with our group, including our three- and four-year-old children. He was patient, enthusiastic, and worked hard to find the fish by taking us to several different spots. He even let our four-year-old help get bait from the livewell, which kept him involved and entertained. Although we didn’t catch many fish, we still had a wonderful experience and would gladly book another trip.

Captain Tim is an excellent guide. My three kids and myself fished with him. He was extremely patient and polite with my kids. He provided plenty of bait and several quality fishing rods. He baited our hooks, corrected any tangled line, showed us how and where to cast. He filleted our catch and even fished longer than our booking time. His boat was excellent. Very clean, well organized, and safe. Tim worked very hard to ensure we all caught fish and had fun. We landed over 30 large fish including large Redfish, large Snook, Trout, and Jack. I highly recommend Tim and we’ll definitely be hiring him again.

Tim Stout is pure class, even when the fishing gods aren't smiling. Got completely blanked today but Tim's personality made it worthwhile. This guy's got stories for days and keeps you laughing between casts. Real down-to-earth captain who doesn't put on airs - just genuine passion for fishing and sharing it with others. He was more frustrated than we were about the slow bite, which tells you everything about his dedication. Tim's the kind of guide who becomes a buddy by the end of the trip. Zero fish but gained a solid fishing contact for future adventures.

Would absolutely recommend Captain Tim. The fishing conditions weren’t the easiest, but Captain Tim kept trying different spots and techniques and we were able to catch what we were looking for. He was very knowledgeable and explained his plan. If you’re in the Spring Hill area give him a shout!

Another great trip with the Great Captain Tim! Took two rookie grandsons with me this time and they caught monster Snook! Along with Reds and Trout. Plenty of bait, great gear, and super comfortable boat. Already booked for next week to show him off to more relatives!

Capt. Tim is the consummate captain, guide, story teller and fisherman! My wife and I had a great time on his boat and he took us to some honey holes that produced a lot of fish of varied species. We will be booking with him again for sure!

We booked an afternoon inshore trip for redfish and black drum and had a blast. Captain Tim was excellent, he knew exactly where to go, how to set us up with the right presentation, and stayed patient and helpful the entire time. The scenery was beautiful (classic marsh and calm backwater), and we ended up with a great catch, including multiple black drum and a nice redfish. If you’re looking for a guide who works hard to find fish and makes the trip enjoyable for everyone, Captain Tim is the real deal. We’ll definitely be back for another booking!
