Captain Timothy Altman is a retired military veteran with a lifelong passion for angling. For the past 25 years, he’s primarily focused on offshore and competitive tournament fishing, ultimately becoming a Charter Captain because he loves to put people on fish and is committed to going the extra mile to do so. His real joy is watching someone reel in a fish they’ve only ever dreamed about.
Capt. Tim has won or placed in a myriad of tournaments from Ocean City, Maryland, to Saint Augustine, Florida, and is a two-time Jacksonville Sailfish Pot Trophy winner. He has been featured in the Florida Sportsman Magazine and does High-Speed Wahoo Trolling seminars throughout the state for the Florida Sportsman Expos. In addition, he authors two columns for Florida print publications and engages in podcasts and live streams about offshore fishing. If you’re willing, there’s a great chance your charter will be featured in media outlets with pictures of your epic day!
