Tom Katz

Member since July 2019 Fort Myers, United States
Background
Captain Tom has been fishing the Gulf waters of Florida his whole life. His dream came true when he became a charter captain and started showing others the beauty that Southwest Florida offers. For him, watching people reel in fish, relaxing on the boat, and creating memories that will last a lifetime is the best part of his job!
Techniques
Florida offers a very unique fishery year-round. From the backwaters to the offshore wrecks, the temperature of the Gulf waters dictates how you get the fish in the boat. Deep dropping, trolling, utilizing light tackle, poppers, and many more rigs are used all year long.

Offshore Fishing- Grouper
Offshore Fishing- Grouper
Jan 10, 2026 Fort Myers
Fishing offshore for grouper on the 9 hour trip, the โ€œgrouper grindโ€ is a great way to spend the day. If we limit out in grouper for the day, we move onto different species of snapper like yellowtail, mangrove snapper, lane snapper or Vermillion snapper. Deep sea fishing off the coast of Sanibel, Fort Myers Beach and Cape Coral is very popular this time of the year. So book your trip in advance to secure your spot.
