4 HR Trip - Inshore 12pm
Great day
We decided to book with Tyler because one day while visiting Southport, my husband and son were fishing off a dock and my husband had something strong on the line - Tyler happened to be passing by on his boat, “off the clock” by the way, and told my husband to hop on to chase it down. He coached my husband through reeling up a huge ray that he of course ended up releasing. Our 6 year old son loves fishing, but we do not have a boat. So we bring him on charters a few times a year, today with Tyler. We all learned a lot about different fishing methods, where the fish like to hide, got a few little guys, got one big red fish that Tyler filet for us, and just a beautiful day inshore. He’s a laid back guy who makes you comfortable on his boat. Great time! Great dude!

4 HR Trip - Inshore 12pm
May fishing trip
Captain Tyler, although young, displayed a good knowledge of the area and what was biting and what was needed to catch them. We used fairly light gear, which I prefer, and I caught one of the biggest flounders I’ve ever caught (returned to the water), the biggest Speckled Trout by far that I’ve ever caught, 21 inches I believe (also returned to the water), a large Black Drum, a few small trout (back in the water) and the biggest Croaker I’ve ever seen. All in 3 1/2 hours. I was tired from catching fish so I called it a day a half hour early. Not a normal thing for me to do.

4 HR Trip – Inshore 7 AM
Fishing memories for years
Fishing with Captain Tyler is an experience we’ll never forget! He did a fantastic job with all four of our kids, making sure everyone had a great time. We caught a variety of fish—two types of trout, flounder, shark, ribbonfish, and ladyfish—and even had an epic battle with a huge red bull fish (that got away!). The fight was unforgettable, and we even had an incredibly lucky save of one red fishing pole… lol. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!

4 HR Trip – Nearshore 7 AM
Great experience and will be back again next year!
Tyler is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We tried multiple different methods and areas inshore, and ended up catching red drum and speckled trout. It was our first charter experience and we really enjoyed it! Tyler can answer any question you throw at him and he takes the time to show you everything you need to know to have a successful trip. Next year we are going to book a 2 hour trip for the kids and a 4 hour for the grown ups. Thanks Tyler!

Fabulous family fun
We took our 10 year old daughter out for the 2 hour trip. Captain Tyler was very knowledgeable and took his time to help her with baiting and casting tips. He took her to the perfect spot to keep reeling em in! Caught tons of croakers and pin fish. We adults had a great time as well and enjoyed seeing her have so much fun. Can’t wait to come back for another fishing trip!
