Tyler guarantees to put forth 100% of his efforts to ensure you have the most successful day of fishing possible.
Having fresh live bait is key to catching these big game fish. Capt. Tyler will be awake before the sun is up to catch the freshest live bait possible for your custom fishing charter.

Captain Tyler is the MAN
Friend and I booked with Captain Tyler while staying in Sanibel. He kept it easy for us by picking us up by boat on Sanibel to start the day. He is clearly a seasoned charter captain between where to get bait, what fish are getting hot, and how to work the areas. He ran us into a day full of fish and constantly got us lines in the water when we decided to tangle up or lose our bait. Highly recommend anyone looking run into fish in the Sanibel/fort Myers area.

Half Day Trip - Inshore (AM)
December inshore excursion with kids
Captain Tyler was great! We were only in town 2 days, we booked for a Thursday and he called us early in the week to ask about changing days because of weather. We rescheduled to Friday afternoon, but the weather was still a little windy. He put us on an oyster bed and the kids quickly caught several ladyfish. We then tried a few red fish spots with no luck. As the kids got bored Tyler redirected us to a trout spot and the kids were back to catching fish. We had a great time and will look to use him again in the future.

Awesome day!
Captain Tyler was a great guide! Highly recommend! My husband and I both had fish on in under five minutes. If the action got slow we went to another spot. Great day in the water! Will definitely go with Captain Tyler again.

Great time on the water
Captain Tyler did a great job getting us on fish. Very professional with a clean and well equipped boat. Our arms got a workout with the amount of fish we were landing. Will definitely hit the water again with him. Highly recommended.
