About Captain Tommy

Hello, my name is Captain Tommy Collins, and I would like to invite you on a guided fishing trip or a nature tour. I have lived, worked, and fished along the world famous St. Johns River for all of my life.

I am a live bait guide that use wild golden shiners. The golden shiner is the number one live bait for the large mouth bass. Nothing is more exciting than watching a shiner jump all the way out of the water when a bass moves in under him. I also use live river shrimp when the shrimp make their annual run up the St. Johns river.

  My wife and I enjoyed 2 days of fishing with Tommy on February 13 and 14, 2024. He was extremely calm, helpful and reassuring as we caught 6,5 and4-pound bass. I've fished the St. John's River over the years around Welaka/Palatka with various guides and I can tell you Tommy knows where and how to fish the river.

  My son and I fished with Tommy in January 2023 and had a great time. We caught lots of Bass and had a blast kidding each other. He is a very easy going but also very professional guide. We were there to catch fish but also to just have fun. Mission accomplished. Thanks Tommy, now if you could just do something about the weather.

  Had a fantastic fishing trip with Tommy at the St. John’s River! He knows all the best spots and will put you right on the fish! He is extremely patient and kind. Caught croakers, largemouth and striped bass, sail catfish and regular catfish today- all were great fighting fish! Thank you Tommy!
