Trip got canceled on June 7th due to conditions. Rescheduled for the 11th started out at the 1pm 6 hour trip and while catching bait, a call came in that a boat had capsized going out of inlet. After catching bait and heading out the water was very difficult. He gave us a choice whether to go out or not, but he said that it would not recommend it and finally made the decision not to take the chance and we were sort of glad he did! We trolled around and he and Cameron tried to snag us a shark that was swimming around the boat so that the trip wouldn’t be such a lost. We were really looking forward going out with these guys and will definitely go out with them next time we are here. You just can’t control mother Nature! Good luck guys, see you next time.

We had the BEST experience with Captain Tyler and Always Tight Fishing Charters. He even offered to leave a couple hrs early from our original departure time (which really paid off!)  because the bite was better during that time period. Very informative and attentive. You can definitely tell he takes pride in his craft, and will do everything in his power to give you the best experience possible. Thank you again for the great experience!

Wow!! Never know what to expect when booking a charter boat. Always Tight, Captain Tyler and Cameron took all the uneasiness away. Put us on fish right away and the action didn’t subside until the lines were out of the water. We caught Spanish mackerel trolling, false albacore trolling, so many other species bottom fishing. My wife, our twin boys and I actually welcomed the break so that we could move to a new spot. We easily caught over 150 fish during our trip. Triggerfish, remora, mingo snapper, pinfish, squirrelfish, etc. just a blast. Thank you to Tyler and Cameron for sharing your knowledge, experience. Thank you for keeping it light and working with a family of rookies. We will be booking with Always Tight again and hopefully often in the future. Our lines literally were…..always tight!!!!

I had never booked a private fishing charter before, but Captain Tyler and his 1st Mate made our first time a great experience from the pre-booking communication all the way through the end of our trip.

I wasn’t sure which option to book originally as I wasn’t familiar with the styles of fishing and he recommended the bottom fishing trip based on what I had said was important to me - I told him I wanted my kids to catch a lot of fish as they’d been a few times back home but never caught anything on the lake.

We started out our day catching more than a dozen Spanish Mackerel just inside the bay on our way out to the bottom fishing locations. Once we got out to our first location, it was non-stop action for the next couple hours with us easily catching between a 120 to 140 fish (the majority of which we released). We caught a good variety of fish including Red Snapper, Chocolate Chip Porgy, Red Fish, Trigger Fish, Grouper, Rock Fish, and a Sea Bass (I’m positive I missed a few types).

Captain Tyler and his 1st Mate’s knowledge of the various types of fish and regulations about what we could keep was spot on. The boat and equipment are all very well maintained and they keep things clean as you go which is nice. After we got back in from our trip, he prepped, cleaned, and packed our fish up for us to take. They recommend a local restaurant which will prepare them for you nearby, but we ate them at a friend’s house.

We’re already looking forward to returning in the near future for an even longer day on the water after an amazing first trip. We’ll absolutely book again with Captain Tyler again, no doubt.
