I want to start by saying I have never been on a charter, I asked cody if he could put me on some monsters and put the wife on some dinner. with that being said, captain Cody made sure that me and my wife were able to do exactly what we came to do, and that's catch fish! from the moment we arrived Cody was informative and ready to answer any question we had. all will keeping a positive and friendly attitude throughout the whole trip. once we arrived at our destination Cody put us on some live bait which we then used to catch 3 CITATION GRADE red drums!! I'm talking real monsters and, when it came time for the fight, Cody was informative on how to make sure we didn't lose the fish and made sure we got them on and off of the boat safely. I cannot say it enugh, cody was an amazing host and guide and he did exactly what I asked him to do! I cannot be more pleased with my trip! I cannot wait to come back and fish with you again man!

Thanks david! I had a blast fishing with yall and cait wait to do it again!

We had such a great time fishing with Captain Cody! The two-hour trip was perfect for kids. We stayed fairly close to shore, and the water was nice and calm, which made the trip comfortable and relaxing. Captain Cody was very professional and communicated with us really well. Depending on the weather, current, and fishing conditions, the departure location may change, and he keeps you updated and finds the best spot for a fun trip. The kids had so much fun catching smaller fish like pinfish and croakers, and we also caught a 7-pound black drum and even a stingray! One thing we especially appreciated was having Captain Cody there to help with the kids. When they needed help with bait, taking fish off the hook, or getting ready for the next catch, Cody was right there helping them. That meant my husband and I could actually relax a little and enjoy fishing too, instead of spending the whole trip helping the kids. It made such a difference for a family fishing trip! The boat was very clean, and Captain Cody was professional, friendly, and great with the kids. Our whole family had a wonderful time. Everything was easy, fun, and well taken care of. We would definitely recommend Captain Cody, especially for families with kids or beginners looking for a fun and relaxing fishing experience! Liu family

Thank you so much Ting! Im glad the whole family enjoyed the trip!
Captain Cody took myself and my two girls (9,5). He did a phenomenal job accommodating my girls and making sure that they had fun. The fishing was slow, however we still managed to catch Spanish mackerel, blue fish, lizard fish, speckled trout, a sting ray, and a citation bull red! Not too shabby for a “slow” morning on the water! 10/10 recommend Cody for your next fishing adventure!

Thank you Chris im glad yall had a good time!
My father and my 9 year old son had such a great time with Captain Cody! Mason caught two sharks and a stingray and has not stopped talking about it. Cody was friendly and knowledgeable, and his boat was clean and beautiful. They both had a great time, and I’m so glad I booked this trip. We would 100% book with him again if we ever come back. Thanks for the great memories, Cody!

Thank you Sarah! Im really glad Mason and Owen had a great time!

We had the best time catching fish with Cody from Tight’n up Fishing Charters! We never thought we would be catching fish and Big fish at that!. Cody was the perfect captain! My 10 year old nephew and 13 year old daughter had moments of catching pretty big fish. He let them have the moment while also providing guidance and instructions on how to pull them in. This is something we want to continue to go back to and will use Tight’n Up Fishing Charters again! Highly Recommend!

Thank you Jason! Your daughter and nephew are great anglers! It was good fishing with a great crew.
