Outstanding Captain!
3/4 Day Trip – Flats/Backcountry on February 19, 20264 adults

Went out on a 6 hour trip with Captain Bryson to try and hook some tarpon. Captain Bryson was really outstanding. Kept in contact prior to the trip to make sure everything and everyone was ready to fish. His charter is very appropriately named, Silver Tide, as he was a madter at getting us onto tarpon within the first 30 minutes of our trip. He was very patient and informative to me and my family (wife and 2 sons). Captain Bryson knows those waters extremely well and we were hooking tarpon all day. When he sensed that the conditions had changed, he moved us to another spot where we caught huge tarpon and had the time of our lives. He really did an amazing job putting us in the best position to fish for what we wanted and then he did an amazing job fguiding is once we had hooked one. He wasn’t content if we weren’t getting bites and always knew where to move us to improve our chances…and he was always dead on. Highly recommend Captain Bryson and Silver Tide Charters for your Key West trip!! We will definitely be back!

Had a great day on the water with Captain Bryson. Even though the weather wasn’t ideal, he was able to get us on some 100lb plus Tarpon and we also caught some big sharks. Highly recommend fishing with Silver Tide Charters.
