Captain Carlile's Favorites

 

Legendary captains don't just find fish; they find the
soul of the sea and share it with everyone on board.

Want to Fish Like a Legend?!

The Legendary OutcastLet's check out some of Captain Tim's favorite products that he faithfully relies on each day:

Did you know Captain Tim was named "Lifelong Hewes Ambassador" in 2025? Did you also know "The Outcast" is a Hewes Redfisher 18' flats boat? She was made for backcountry fishing, and is a faithful companion to Captain Tim and his lucky anglers.

Captain's DrinkWhat do you suppose a legendary Captain of the Sea fuels himself with throughout the day... regardless of the temperature, precipitation activity, or wind situation? Rarely will you see Captain Tim on the seas (or land) without a Coca Cola in his hand. Some of his anglers know this and love to treat him to a Coke or two on their charters. Luckily Sugarloaf Marina keeps plenty of these icy cold beverages stocked in the cooler.

Sun Bum FavHow does Captain Tim avoid getting sun burns day in and day out on the reflective ocean water that graces the Florida Keys backwaters? Obviously outerwear and hats are extremely important, but for his exposed skin... look no further than Captain Tim's favorite Sun Bum Original SPF 30 lotion and Watermelon Lip Balm! You will almost always see some Sun Bum in the hatch, on the floor, or in Captain Tim's hands!
