Meet your expert guide, Captain Tim has been fishing professionally for over 40 years and loves every minute he spends on the water. Growing up, he was able to get a good deal of exposure to fishing. His father who has a very strong work ethic has taught him that hard work pays off and to always give 110% of his best in everything that he does in life.&nbsp;When they go out on fishing trips, his father would train him to have patience and how to know the right timing which is very important factors if you want to have a good catch.
