Amazing day with Capt. Tyler
3/4 Day Trip on November 26, 20252 adults2 children

Highly recommend booking a day with Tyler. He had us on fish all day, hit multiple spots and caught a bunch of different fish. On our 3rd spot, he let me get my bass fishing addiction play out by ripping jigs for mackerel and sea trout, kids were getting into them nearly every cast. We had a couple of kids, 5 & 8, on the boat, Capt was patient and helpful with them, very much appreciated and made the trip memorable for the four of us. Will definitely be coming back to S. FL with Born and Raised!!

great day and super helpful Captain Tyler
Half Day Trip on January 24, 20264 adults

on short notice we booked with Tyler and his "born and rasied" boat. Was a great weather day. Tyler showed us the techniques and took us to more than 5 spots cause the tide and cool waters were not working to our advantage. Fun fact is we caught 10+ different species in one morning! Would book again and would recommend Tyler.

Perfect day of fishing
3/4 Day Trip on August 20, 20251 adult3 children

Captain Tyler was amazing. We did a 6 hour nearshore trip and it didn’t disappoint. Captain Tyler had us on the fish every time we stoped at a spot. We caught over 50 fish during our trip. We even landed a Goliath grouper. He was very knowledgeable about the fish and very patient with my youngest son. We couldn’t have had a better captain for our trip. I highly recommend Captain Tyler and will certainly book with him again next time we are in town. Thanks again Captain!
