Captain Taylor Nelson

Hi, I’m Captain Taylor Nelson of I’m Hooked Fishing Charters, the sister boat of Tarpon Time with Captain Jeff Malone at Hawks Cay Resort & Marina. Being born right here in South Florida has provided me the opportunity to become an expert in shallow water sport fishing in the waters surrounding The Middle Keys and The Florida Bay. I have had a tremendous passion for fishing. Book a trip with me and I will be thrilled to share my passion with you and your family!

About the Boat: 21-ft Egret Moccasin with a 200hp 4 stroke Suzuki engine. It is a great boat for fishing in skinny water and anchoring up around bridges and in Florida Bay. It is fast, comfortable and stable, and because it rocks very little you never need to worry about getting seasick.
