Captain Tom’s Big Game Sportfishing

Captain Tom’s Big Game Sportfishing has been running fishing trips in the Jaco area for almost 30 years. Captain Tom was the very first charter guide in the area and still provides some of the best sportfishing action found in this famous angling heaven.

Spend the day offshore, targeting monster pelagic species like Blue, Black, and Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna. During the summer months, Captain Tom also offer half day inshore charters, targeting Roosterfish, Cubera Snapper, Jacks, and other great table and game species.

The vessel you will be fishing aboard is the aptly named “Dreamwork”. Custom built in 2013, this 36’ flybridge boat is designed and rigged for awesome offshore battles. She comes equipped with GPS and fishfinder to track down the best spots, a livewell full of fresh bait for inshore fishing, and tuna tubes for anglers with bigger fish to fry.

Once hooked on that fish of your dreams, the vessel’s fighting chair will let you hold your ground in long drawn-out fights, while her tournament-grade tackle will make sure you bring in your fish. Choose between light and heavy tackle to best target your chosen species, with the option to troll, bottom fish, pop, jig, and spin to bring it in. Fly anglers are also welcome to bring their favorite fly fishing gear.

Over his long and successful career guiding in Jaco, Captain Tom has placed and won many tournaments, both inshore and offshore. He has been written up in various sports magazines and tourism publications, including Sports Afield, Marlin, Saltwater Fisherman and Florida Outdoors.

There is no better guide to get you on that fish of your dreams, and no better place than the Dreamwork to do it. So climb aboard and get ready for the battle of a lifetime!
