Capt. TJ Zinkand
Offshore & Backcountry Guide
Captain TJ was born in south Florida and grew up fishing all of the surrounding waters. He spent most of his days fishing with his Grandfather and Dad learning the skills to catch redfish, snook, and tarpon. With Capt. TJ's love for fishing he also learned the art of fishing offshore for sailfish and dolphin. Even though Capt. TJ is a younger captain, his experience of fishing and navigating the waters in Islamorada, The Florida Bay, and Miami is tremendous. A Day on the water with Capt. TJ will be exciting, adventurous and will give you the opportunity to catch the fish of a lifetime.
