First time fishing in SW Florida and Capt Tyler did not disappoint! He puts you on fish, Plain and simple. We got into about 7 species of fish including, a bunch of keeper mangrove snapper. Easily a dozen or more snook, and sight casted my personal best redfish at 34” - which was awesome! Capt Tyler knows the area like the back of his hand, very knowledgeable, and was super attentive. He was always there with a fresh bait and quick tip to get a bite!

Half Day – Inshore (AM)

More than just a fishing trip!!!

VERIFIED

Captain Tyler is hands down one of the best fishing guides I’ve ever had the pleasure of fishing with. From the moment we stepped on the boat, his personable nature and deep knowledge of the waters, fish, and local wildlife set the tone for an unforgettable day. He took the time to ask what we wanted to catch, then went after each species with laser focus and precision. Whether we were using live bait or lures, Tyler was quick and completely on the money. The boat was in perfect condition, super comfortable, and clearly well-maintained. What really set this trip apart, though, was Tyler’s incredible eye!!! Tyler could spot fish, dolphins, sharks, and even manatees from what seemed like a mile away! It wasn’t just a fishing trip, it was also a nature tour. As we moved from spot to spot, Tyler acted like a guide to the ecosystem around us, pointing out wildlife and sharing interesting facts about the area. Great guy, great attitude, and just an all-around top-tier experience. Highly recommend Slacktyde Charters if you’re looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and fun day on the water!

Action on a cloudy day!

VERIFIED

Catching fish on a good day is exciting, but not as challenging. Catching fish on the morning after a storm takes patience and a skilled guide. Captain Tyler was determined to find the right location to fish at, and we went to several spots. As a result, everyone had the thrill of catching fish! Captain Tyler gave his best effort with patience and good guidance. An enjoyable day!
