Tristan Ellis5.0VerifiedCaptain Tyler is the MAN
6hr Fly Fishing Inshore 2 person on April 1, 2025 • 2 adultsFriend 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.

6 Hour - Combo Trip on March 5, 2024 • 5 adults • 3 childrenThis fishing trip was more than we could have asked for! We caught so many fish! Captain Tyler is not only very knowledgeable in where to catch fish but very easy to hold a conversation with. We have 3 older boys 13 & twin 10 year olds) and he was amazing and patient with them on the boat I would highly recommend!
Joe PottsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCapt. Tyler knows where to find the fish and how to catch them!
Half Day Trip - Inshore (AM) on February 16, 2024 • 2 adults • 1 childMy 9 year old son and I fished with Capt. Tyler yesterday. We were on fish all day. Tyler moved quickly when the bite slowed down to keep us fishing and catching. His boat and gear are perfect for inshore fishing. We had a great outing and strongly recommend Indigenous Charters!

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.
