Captain Tim Fletcher caught his first saltwater fish at the age of 6
and has been addicted to saltwater sportfishing ever since. Tim is currently entering his
15th season in the Port Canaveral and Sebastian Inlet areas of East Central Florida. He
began acquiring his local knowledge as a commercial lobster diver and professional mate on
the charter boat Sea Aye with Captain Ron Rincones of Sebastian before starting
his own private charter service. His specialties include deep water bottom fishing for
trophy Grouper and Snapper, as well as, live baiting and trolling for Kings, Cobia, Wahoo,
Dolphin and Tuna. Over the years, Tim has consistently guided his clients to the winners'
circle in many of the area tournaments. Notable catches and tournament winnings have led
to many features in publications such as Florida Today newspaper and Florida Sportsman
magazine. When he's not fishing, Tim donates much of his time to charity events such as fishing
clinics for kids and handicapped citizens. He has been actively involved in the Florida
Sport Fishing Association, Canaveral Charter Captains Association and National Association
of Charterboat Operators, participating in events such as reef projects, beach cleanups,
the adopt-an-island program and local civic projects. Captain Tim is a proponent of marine
conservation and currently participates in tagging programs administered by the South
Atlantic Fisheries Management Council and Mote Marine Laboratory. Tim is licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard and is fully compliant with their random drug
testing program.
