6 Hour–Troll & Bottom Fishing (AM) on June 20, 2025
Couldn’t have been happier with the fishing experience. Very unsure about taking 3 small children along, but captain Tyler and first mate Allan were exceptional. Kids had a blast and we consistently caught fish through the whole 6 hours we were on board. We did not have a target species as I just told the captain “we just want to catch fish and keep the little ones involved” and Always Tight delivered. When the littles got hot, needed to lay down, or go potty they were able to go inside the cabin and soak up some ac etc. Great experience and have already recommended to multiple other friends/family.

4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (PM) on June 16, 2025
We booked a trip last year with another charter and, unfortunately, didn’t catch a single fish. This year, we went out with Tyler and Alan from Always Tight Fishing Charters—and what a difference! Even though my kids are grown, they had the time of their lives. I wanted to give them a trip to remember, and this one absolutely delivered. I honestly can’t recall a moment all day when someone wasn’t reeling something in. We even landed a 7-foot shark! We’ll definitely be back next year!

6 Hour–Troll & Bottom Fishing (AM) on July 9, 2025
We arrived early and crew was ready to go! We had an excellent 6 hour trip with our party of 4. Captain Tyler and Allen had us fishing quickly and we caught our limit of Snapper along with Grouper, Tooni and Vermillion. Allen cleaned and filleted everything in 40 minutes.He worked like a machine all day to keep us fishing. Captain Tyler and Allen have the cleanest boat and gear anywhere. I would recommend them to anyone, and we will be back!

Captain Tyler and Mate Allen are an amazing crew! They made everything so easy for us. Captain took us to some awesome spots and he has a really sweet boat with inside quarters for when it gets a little hot on the deck. Allen set us up for success from the get go, working around the clock to make sure your lines are Always Tight!!

4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing AM on May 10, 2025
Everything went great from start to finish. First, we received a phone call two days prior to see If we’d like to switch our time to a time with more favorable weather. This was the best choice we made and we were so thankful they called and checked. While on the boat we had a blast catching fish within 6 minutes of leaving the dock. We came back with enough fish to feed our entire 12 person family plus leftovers for days. We would highly recommend Always Tight to anyone.

Captain Tyler is a local in the panhandle and has been fishing these waters for 25 years. His family has always been into fishing – he has grown up fishing inshore, chasing Reds, Trouts, and Flounder, and always fishing the Cobia migration during the springtime in the Gulf and Flounder gigging and dock light fishing in the summer with great success. He always had the dream of one day running a charter boat, but decided that he would begin as a deckhand and a mate to get some experience in the charter business. During this time, he was able to work on several boats in different states across the US. For the last 10 years he has learned a lot from the best fishermen in the business. After thousands of charters as a mate, Capt. Tyler decided to take the wheel himself, and is looking forward to welcoming you aboard!
